The Jensen “Toasty Ten”

Just finished breathing some life back into this mid-40s Jensen
10. I believe it may have been in a house fire. Glad it didn’t
get tossed!

Now isn't that something special !
Except for the base ... who'd know, and I would definitely keep
the base as it is.

When I spotted it on eBay, I had to have it because of the burnt
base. I thought it was amazing how burnt it was, yet the most
important parts were unaffected. I’ve paid less for 10s in
better shape, but as you said, this one is special. Here’s some
before pics.

That is great ;D Glad you kept the base, as most would have
replaced it. 8)

That's great, Mike!
I love that you have preserved the fire damage.
Throw 10 on the barbie!

What character! That baby has been saved for another generation
after coming so close to oblivion. And it runs and generates so
well. Jensens just want to run. As that old #10 moves through
history it will no doubt be tagged with a nick name. Toasty Ten
for now!

I do like that you've kept the character of the burnt base , it
does give it a uniqueness that no other #10 has, good work Mike.

Thanks for all the kind words, guys! I just wish I knew the
story behind it. I asked the seller, but he just picked it up at
a farm estate sale. Guess I’ll just have to make up something
good. Lol

I got a story Mike , President James Madison was steaming it
when the British set fire to the White House, Dolly didnt have
time to gather up the Jensen #10 & it got partially burned . My
timeline "might" be a little off....😉😊
