Jensen Model #70 D
« on: March 12, 2019, 02:05:07 pm »
I was wondering if anyone on the forum owns one of the new Jensen #70 D dry fuel fired variants?

I've not seen any photos of the new model (even though it is just like a model #70 with a model #75 firebox). The photo on the Jensen and Ministeam websites show a photo-shopped model #70 (quite well done i might add/ the model #75 photo is the same). I'm i right in saying it is the cylinder off the model #75/#25 made into a double acting oscillator?

I am about to buy one just to have. Apparently, they are not flying off the shelves here in the US. I like the concept very much. The 70 always flew! The 70D should do the same. Just a 75 firebox with a 70 engine. The one I buy, I may never fire??

It would be good to see yours when you have it Jed, i'm hoping to get one myself at some point to complete my Jensen dry fueled hobby engine lineup.

Thanks for the tip guys, I hadn't heard of this before now.

May have to look into it myself.

I could have had one today, but I bought much needed parts. There is a Jensen dealer about 45 min from me. Maybe next week?
