I saw this recently on an Ebay buy it now for $280.  I've been looking for a Jensen to rob the horseshoe magnet from for quite a while.  I was hoping to find one perhaps missing a boiler or other parts that would make it cheaper, but with no luck for the past several years.  I was surprised to see this still listed after thirty minutes or so.  And so, I saw that as a sign that I had to buy it!  It's complete and the heater is good, so I thought I'd try to fire it up to see if it would run.  However, it needs a new gasket set before it is going to build up enough pressure to get it to run.  I hope to do that sometime over the weekend, and hopefully have a video.

It's a shame to rob the magnet off this plant, but I need it for my stand-alone Jensen Horseshoe Magnet Generator which has a cracked magnet.  Although, it does still work just find, I've been looking for a replacement for quite a while, and this replacement is going to be the donor!
