This is a bit late in coming. I went to the swap meet for the Central Mass Steam, Gas & Machinery Assoc. on Saturday. I was busy with stuff I have been putting off around the house, so I have not had time to finish this.
My wife talked me in to making this video, cause I was not going to do anything at all.
I hope you all like it, there will be a bit more to it when I have some time to finish it.
Check out the pictures of my latest find at the swap meet!
Enjoy! _________________ Keep Creativity Alive!

Owen, your Jensen 75 has seen better days for sure, but it is only missing SV, chimney, spring belt and burner...all parts obtainable direct from Jensen. It will likely clean up well and with a repaint to black the firebox would look fine. I personally would clean the engine nickled base well and coat it with Rustoleum hammered silver paint, gives it a mottled look that is quite attractive.
Still, bit of work ahead of you, but nothing impossible.

Umm... Rog.. the entire cylinder assembly and linkage is missing. In the parts list the cyllinder assembly is listed for 65 bux, but I do not know if it will include all of the bits I need. _________________ Keep Creativity Alive!

Those make for a great Boiler to use for all kinds of experiments and such, not a bad think to have on hand at all, and you never know, some day a 75 with a bad boiler might show up some day. _________________ Non Impedite Raditioni Cogitationis
You could find a complete 75 on ebay for the price of the cylinder (never mind the other parts you need)
Your D21 setup is really taking nice form. Ditching the pressed metal base makes for a unique display. _________________
