Early Jensen 5
« on: December 14, 2019, 04:57:40 pm »
Found this one listed for $300, unfortunately the seller will not ship... and not a good enough of a deal for a 3000+ mile round-trip...  :D

That's a shame Nick - too bad there isn't a forum member close by to pick it up and ship it.

Where is it Nick ... Craigslist maybe, but where? Somebody may be near enough to do you some good, or for you to do them some good!

Many thanks to Nick for passing this opportunity on to me. I was able to make some connections down in Florida where this engine was and had a friend, who happened to be in the area, purchase and pick up the engine in person and bring it all the way back here to northern Ohio.

Here it is all shined up and pulling my early 15 generator. Enjoy!

Glad it worked out, seller was a bit difficult... Practically a brand new engine, they don't get any better than that!  8)

I tried, but I just couldn't find a good enough of an excuse to drive to Florida...  :D :D

The funniest thing about the whole deal is the seller had it all packed in a box like it was ready to ship, just needed an address on it and dropped off at the Post Office!

Well, you should have kept it in that box and sent it the rest of the way to MN  :D :D

Have you've gone to a USPS office? It's no wonder why they didn't want to ship!

Great engine and the Dynamo. Really lights up well.

They could have more than doubled their money if they would have been willing to ship...

Have I been to the post office? Yes, nearly every other day for the last 10+ years  :D :D

We are lucky, our clerk is very fast and knows the address of everyone that comes in.

You’ll certainly have first refusal, if I ever decide to pass it on. 😉
