That's a nice one. I have seen these many times and have always wondered the same thing every time, why.
Why was Jensen involved or did some other company just buy a bunch of 85s and put it on a base with a
generator and light? What was being promoted?
 
Thanks, Tommy.

My best guess has always been that it was a small-scale distributor in Israel who made a small batch purchase (15 units) of a custom Jensen 85G for some intended resale market ..... possibly public schools or the like.

I should add that other than the label, and the two polarity pins sticking up through the baseboard, these are actually a stock Jensen product, though a rather uncommon one, and having the Jensen 15e generator definitely gives it a different flavor.
