• I just picked up this Jensen 65 and Ferris wheel mounted on this very nice board.
  I remembered that I had a flyer from Jensen advertising the Ferris wheel sets dating back to 1998. Could this be one of those sets? None of the Ferris wheel sets on eBay look anything like this.

• really neat Mike , I'd say you have a very good chance of this being one of those sets.

• Neat setup, but can’t help if it’s Jensen or not… this is all I have for Jensen/Ferris Wheel literature

  I kind of doubt that the whole setup was put together by Jensen, but it does have a more elaborate gear train that the flyer does say is included.

• I wish I had thought of using a worm drive maybe next time a long shaft will run up to a gear attached to the wheel axle with a worm turning it.
