The auction house sure didn't estimate the price very well. Even at the unbelievable price Jack scored it at, the estimate was down around 1/3, and only about 1/5 of normal current market.

Other than that easily fixed cord, it looks to be a very okay unit!

That power cord needs replacing.

Quite right and cudos to the Amero Auctions for not only pointing out the power cord in their description but showing a good picture of it.

Here it is:

Very nice buy, I have one of these on my bucket list, though I think that bucket will always remain empty.

I was bidding but backed off after 1600. I was clearly hoping to pick low hanging fruit.


Congrats, Jack...!!!  It is great to know it is "in the family". Looking forward to seeing more as it progresses.

Hey everyone. Figured I'd let the cat out of the bag.
I'm sure several were wondering who got the Jensen 50 and that B42 Empire. I stopped at 600 on the B42. Someone got a very good deal. Better you than me.
I particularly wanted the Jensen 50 and was going to go all in. Thank you to 2nd bidder who stopped.
After fees and shipping is around $2800.
Still a decent price.
I'll post some pics and video when it arrives.
PS Was anyone else on here bidding?
Thanks and congratulations to all.
