I was excited to see this resource available after researching my 14" Mower I just purchased. I have never heard of Sensation Mowers but I am looking forward to trying to restore this one.

Looking for any information
Sensation made many electric models while Howard Phelps owned the company from 1938 - 1966. Some had wood decks, some had aluminum or steel decks. Can you identify the model you have or describe it?
Your 14" Sensation
Aw, you make me incredibly jealous! Where did you find that little beauty? My wife, of all people, wants a 14" - she loves "baby versions" of things. And I actually have a couple of places to use it!
14" mower
see page 6 of this 1980s era catalog:

the 14" version was referred to as a "trimmer" in that one. For some reason I have in the back of my head that these were once referred to as a "Cemetery mower" but I don't remember why I thought that and I can't find any mention on this site about it. Now that Yahoo Groups has tossed all of our old messages we can't go search there, but I did manage to download them all using a script before they did so I'll see if I can find where I put that and search around in there too. I think the 14" ones are worth restoring if you do it make sure to post pics!
some more info about the cemetery mower
I did find the post from the Yahoo Group I was thinking about. Sadly, we didn't know much about it but I posted it on this page: http://www.sensation-mowers.com/comment/671#comment-671

That ben kid had some serious internet archeology skills.
