Hello fellow steamers
here we have "for sale" Jensen #75 ELBB
it is on a 11 1/2" X 13 1/2" plinth & features a 600W cartridge
heater & can also be used with Esbit tablets as a "dual fuel"
the water level must always be able to be seen so the cartridge
heater isn't ruined. the firebox, chimney support & chimney have
all been bead blasted & repainted with a very high temperature
"burnt copper" paint. it has a built in variac with a 10' 16/3
ga. power cord. I put (2) roller ball bearings (sealed) in the
axle stanchions & the "new" M-50 angle transmission has (4)
working brass oil cups in each of those stanchions. it has an
aluminum chimney support to keep the chimney in place &
ventilation through the center of the chimney to keep the
electronics cooler. I made a set of faux brass governor balls
for it & it has a custom "SPS" brass tag. it runs equally well
in either direction. the fuel tray is insulated from the plinth
underneath for added protection. long runs @ low voltage is
easily possible. the boiler bands, chimney, sight glass was all
bought new from Jensen Mfg recently. it heats up enough to
steam in 3 minutes under full power & will run at least 45
minutes with a full tank , top of the window to the bottom of
sight glass @ 150-200 watts power. "Never run water level below
bottom of sight window" I have 8 hrs labor in this. Punch press
& Baker fan "NOT" included. PM me if interested Please.
don't forget to view in "HD"\
Price is $350 plus $20 shipping USA only , anymore shipping,
I'll absorb it, any less & I'll refund in package.

Thanks fella's.
Since I don't have eBay availabilities anymore, I'm not really
sure what/where my outlet will be ?

Much of it was posted here Daniel,
(HTM) https://www.officeofsteamforum.com/off-topic/ebay-woe's/
I decided not to bore anyone with more updates, but suffice it
to say that although someone took over my account & sold an
expensive item (or 2) under my account & then made off with the
funds on a misdirected account (allowed by eBay)...Ebay has once
again decided that I owe the $3270 & has restricted my account
until I pay for what the scammer got away with (which I won't) I
have removed all forms of payment from my account (I hope)
dealing with evilbay is definitely a 1 sided conversation with
emails that cannot be replied too & messages that they wont
respond to, although they say they'll get back to me in 24-48
hrs....they never have. people think they're safe, I am here to
tell you ebay can & WILL do anything they want to you
financially.
Re; selling here, things don't sell all that well here, we all
want a bargain. Facebook marketplace is another option, but Ebay
is where I have done the best, I had a pretty strong following
there & it's a shame we haven't gotten it worked out yet,
doesn't look likely.
if I kept "everything I made" I would need a warehouse. I love
to build, modify, restore, enjoy & then move on to the next
project.

Unfortunately nothing will give you the exposure that ebay will…
maybe it’s your turn to take advantage of ebay with a new/fake
account, list with high price and somehow advertise a way to
contact you in the pictures ;)
Another option would be advertising sales through your youtube
videos…

you are very much correct Nick; I have a pretty strong following
on eBay & am realizing more everyday how valuable that is to me.
I could make an account under my wife's name, but I think Ebay
would recognize the IP address & shut it down. I have over 23
yrs. with Ebay & (really) hate to lose it. i did get ahold of a
new person that claims they are trying to help....but I've heard
that a few times now. selling on my youtube channel just strikes
me as inappropriate.
