I wonder how much my Jensen 30 replacement heater would be worth as a collectible. It is probably the only one anyone has. [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

  Hmmmmm.  Could you please give us the dimensions?  I have an idea...

  FYI...I have a working metal-based 30 and it heats and runs well. 
An extra heater might come in handy.  As to the value, there are probably
not that many model 30's out there at all and even fewer needing a heater.

  If you really want to find out, put it on EBAY with a buy-it-now or best-offer
listing.  That should do it.

Good Luck,
Wayne

Hi Wayne,

It’s 2 3/8 OD X 1 3/4 tall with about another 1/8 of the heater itself sticking out above that. About 1/8 thick for the actual element.

I was down at the shop years ago and saw that they only had 2 of the 110 volt heaters left. I bought both strictly as replacements for my 30. I’ve have burnt out about 3 before. I soon had to put one in. It just popped into my head yesterday that someone might want it just to have the last remaining one as a bit of history and not to use it. I will probably just end up keeping it for a spare as originally intended.
