• Found an old sales flyer that showed a Jensen model 20R. So I got to looking around for one and couldn't find one for sale. Talked to Doreta at Jensen to see if they would build one. No they wouldn't. So I ordered a new 20. Got it in unboxed it and took it apart. Made new board to dimension that was on flyer and built my own 20R.

• By the way, just noticed you added straight red handles, much nicer than the really fat ones they currently use...
  
  And Beautiful finish on that base

• Would be glad to. But cant figure out how to add video? Like I've said before better with old engines than modern technology.
