Our good Forum friend Jan (classix) is perhaps the best expert we have on all things related to Solar Engines of Phoenix Arizona, but sadly he is tied down by his work just now, and has no spare time to chime in and provide his wealth of knowledge. Hopefully soon he will be freed up enough to participate in this thread. He is certainly aware of it, and following it as best he can.

To my knowledge, he has the most complete collection of SEoPA material of anyone I know, and seems to have just about everything they ever produced, and most all of the available ephemera as well. He has aided me on several occasions in obtaining SEoPA items that I was looking to add to my collection, and even stood down for me on items he might well have wanted himself.

The man is that helpful, kind and considerate ...... top quality gent that he is!!!

As to the JEMCO reference, I'm still unsure just how that fits into the picture, but I do know that besides a few hobby tools, they also sold several Wilesco steam engines and accessories, seemingly through the SEoPA ads and addresses, with their fliers often accompanying the literature included in engines as shipped.
