Thanks Bruce.No I don't have a Jensen turbine (& never did) that fellow in the for sale section here still has that NIB Jensen turbine for $1100 , if your interested you might send him a PM Charlie.
Turbines may be my buying focus in 2021. 🤠
I have three now: Wilesco, Empire and Doll.
Do you have a Jensen 95 in your collection?
Thanks Bruce.

I saw that in my research, yours looks like it has 2 rows of tangs this one looks like it has a single middle row (although I don't know how it would stand upright) ,anyway in the end I had to have one & placed an order. 🙃👍
Happy to help! :D
I’ve gotten you and Doug so far... How about you Charlie?? :D
I haven’t pulled the trigger yet.
Just ordered mine. 🤠

Looking forward to your mods, sounds like you’ve already got some great ideas. Wonder how many Ministeam has left as I believe they’ve been sold out everywhere else for awhile now... Doug at Ministeam is probably wondered why he’s selling so many at once :Dyou should get a cut of the profits Nick, your always on top of these kind of things, thanks :D

The rarity , the Karsten Gintschel connection & the $230.00 savings off of list price helped my decision. I also bought a D21boiler to modify with a cartridge heater , that way I can keep the rare original boiler in pristine condition & I can always return it back to complete 100% stock down the road if I choose too. The D21 boiler also has the benefit of a drain valve 😉👍I saw that in my research, yours looks like it has 2 rows of tangs this one looks like it has a single middle row (although I don't know how it would stand upright) ,anyway in the end I had to have one & placed an order. 🙃👍

Here’s the picture from Wilesco’s store (same boiler)

Photos look great Nick, look like commercial ad shots.
Thanks Jim, but not quite your skills!
Thought of how great it would have been for you and your camera to be at our feeders today. We had freezing rain over night and they were surrounded with ice and 2 to 3 inch icicles hanging all the way around. Looked really neat with the birds on them.

The steam line keeps the other one in place and I just stuck a strong magnet to the other one. So far the heat hasn’t affected the magnet enough and it’s keeping in place and the paint still looks perfect.

Here’s the underside of the boiler for those that haven’t seen them on these engines.
