    Serial no 1058. Sourced cheap, looked hardly used. Found small split/fracture in the j tube that had eroded gas chamber. Telltale soot and nasty inside the hood was the telltale. Tank sent full of paintbrush cleaner. One service kit, J tube and chamber later : my first rapid heater lamp. Hipo1.JPG hipo4.JPG hipo4.JPG
