The boiler and engine are both late 1950's through 1961. They engine is identical in color to my 1961 example and boiler with site glass tube, no rivets, and an end to end staybolt also correct for late 1950's through early 1960's. Remember alot of Jensens made when he first started using bricked sheet metal also had dark blue engine and generator parts.


The generator is also of the correct time frame which is anytime after 1951 when he started using the same 3 piece magnet used today.

I knew that the copper brick fireboxes were used with some dark blue engines but I have never seen it on a 50...

And I did not realize the generator could be that old, I had always assumed these were a later design, like late '80's to early '90's

By the way, if you had to, I imagine you might be able to get Andy and Dorita to rewind your coil.

Let's cross our fingers that it will work with the current windings 

A big CONGRATULATIONS, Nick....!!!


Very well done......!!!!

Thank you Gil, it was a long drive back peeking at the engine through the rear view mirror. By the way, seen your call I missed, I'll give you a call tomorrow.
