Based on an assumption, I'll simply say .....
Congratulations Dennis, on what I hope proves to be a great score for you!
Had my resources been just a bit better currently, I'd have gone for that one my own self!!!

Hi Dennis, I just now saw your message, but so far there are no messages either on the forum board, or via g-mail, where they are supposed to also go. I will try to send one your way now, to see if we can connect. Thanks - Greg

Thank you Gil, coming from you that puts a smile on my face. No takers so far, but I forgot to say "make offer" also. Hopefully others will see that here.

Best of luck with your sale.

Please see photos here of a classic riveted boiler, sky-blue Jensen plant, this is I assume a later production model as it has the blanket heater as opposed to the tube-in-boiler ceramic heater (also is the smaller cylinder version). I have had this for some time and have decided that I won't be getting around to trying to restore/refurbish it anytime soon (having already done one), so I am offering this entirely "as-found", without even having cleaned it up.
This one does have an issue in that there is a solder repair around the whistle. I cannot make out any obvious damage associated with that repair, which was very neatly done, with only a very thin layer of solder on the surrounding boiler surface, and then the solder circles perfectly around the whistle base. The whistle would otherwise appear to be in excellent condition, standing straight up, with the handle moving freely.
It looks to be in entirely complete and all-original condition, except for the missing chimney, and sight-glass. The boiler surface would appear to me (based on my experience with two others) to be in good shape and could be polished up nicely, although as always it is impossible to know for sure until that process is underway. The engine moves freely with no indication of any issues, but clearly needs cleaning and oiling (sticky, as it sits now). Heater is untested.
I would ask $450 for this one, which includes shipping to any location in the lower 48 states (payment via Paypal friends/family option, or check by mail) . If you have any questions or would like to see some more photos, please let me know. Thanks - Greg
