I posted them on the Mamod forum after they were listed on eBay on 9/4/18, and Jan purchased one that day

Hey Nick

Sorry I forgot that you were the one to initially spot that Jensen 85G deal in Israel and post it up. I just remembered that I typed in my order as soon as I could after Jan reported back on it being a real deal and not some scam.

It was great revisiting that old thread where this all went down almost eight years ago now.

Yea, I remember buying the same day as soon as he listed them as well. He took several days to ship them. I went back and bought some more after talking to Dorita. 3 or 4 folks here on the forum bought one too.
I remember everyone was very skeptical until I spoke with Dorita and she confirmed make them. She actually installed and wired the posts. While I was on the phone with her she pulled the customer order and confirmed they were all legit Jensens and she only made 15 of them.
The rest is history.

As of tomorrow I will be down to only 1 left.
Congratulations to the new owner.
They are really a very cool part of Jensen's history.

 At only 15 made, they are some of the most rare Jensen's ever produced.

Congratulations to all those who were fortunate enough to grab them.

Have a great day and thinks for walking back down memory lane.

Cheers.
