Notes: Representative of a 1960 Jensen #40 vertical boiler model incorporating a Jensen 5 solid cast iron engine, cast flywheel, plywood base, electrically heated. Like the #30, offered by Jensen in limited numbers in both metal based and wooden based versions...difficult to mfg. heater for vertical design boiler caused Jensen to eliminate from the production line...metal ones can still be found, wood based much rarer. I used the correct boiler from a metal version, an orphan Jensen #5 engine and mounted both on a proper sized and beveled plywood base with a replica decal. Identical to factory offering, but assembled by me.
