Looking for a nice example of a Jensen #15 generator on bearings for sale. Please message me with what is available.

I am aware that if you´re dead set on an original Jensen #15BL, this posting won´t be much good, but if not...

Perhaps you could lure Bruce "Saint Paul Steam" to upgrade a standard genny with ball bearings for you.
He has done this with great success on several during the years ;)
Cheers

If I still had my milling machine I would help you out. I don’t have a good way to hold it all lined up to drill and ream the stands anymore.

I have done a couple before.😉
Best Regards
John

I am not dead set on the 15BL and that’s why I worded it as such. I would be more than happy with the SPS versions.

I've Seen your post from the beginning , I have 3 cast iron based #15 , but no ball bearing #15 aluminum base generators, except for the twin 25/25BB plant that's for sale on EBay right now.

I stayed with it as long as I could but at this point I don’t think it makes sense to take parts off it. Happy bidding folks.
