I asked this back in January as I need a cheaper but effective steam plant. At the time I asked about the smaller boilers since the bigger Jensen ones were sold out from ministeam.
But I noticed yesterday that directly from Jensen I can by a 55G's electric boiler & firebox for $200. Nick said to wait for a used one but the 55s don't appear too often on eBay. ...I saw one via completed auctions that sold in Feb. But missed that one. Nick didn't have any for sale neither.
From what I gather a new one is mostly complete:
077-080
Boiler with Bricked Firebox and Immersion Heater
Model#'s 20, 20G, 55, 55G, 95G
$196.50
I want to run alternatively a turbine, a Graham Industries single, and a Bing 130/616 tandem wheel drive unit. Do you think it could do that?
