Jensen 35
« on: April 01, 2023, 04:52:43 pm »
I haven't posted in a while, but I've been collecting more arcade games and pinball machines than engines recently.  Although hardly rare or valuable, this Jensen 35 with the original box was found at an antique shop only twenty minutes from where it was manufactured, and at only $63, it was hard to pass up!  After getting it home, I checked the heater, which tested good.  So, I put some water in it, plugged it in, and off she went.  I didn't really need another 35, but again, just hard to pass up!

I certainly wouldn't have passed it up at that price, or even a bit more!

Heck, that engine is likely pushing 70 yrs old and runs just like it left the factory (well, shop actually) yesterday!

And from it's "hometown" no less ..... Nice Score!!!

Thanks for the video Doug, you have been missed.
The Jensen #35 is a bargain most times you can find one. Yours runs great !
