It is sooooooo good to see such a rarely seen wonder as a Jensen 51. That it is going to Bill through Gil by way of Charlie just makes it all the more special.

But shouldn't the count on Jensen 51's be 28 if we count Rog's wonderful creation?!?!

I'll add the rest of it's history. It was purchased new in the mid 1990s by a well to do family for their young son. What a lucky boy he was! Fast forward about 20 years and this fellow had grown up and decided to sell it. Our own CrazyDoug got it from him. Eventually he passed it on to Charlie. Charlie took custody of it at Cabin Fever the same time Doug took custody of a Major Beam that I passed on to him. Charlie protected it well and delivered it to me in in Indiana and in great condition.

Regarding Roger's 2 creations.... They are considered by IndianaRog himself to be 51-R and 51-R2 (R stands for replica) So the count would have been 29 if they were included. Rog's examples actually have more lamps and generators than the production models and I think a couple other improvements.
