I have to thank all of You for Your advice! :lol: The NRV was no problem, pip replaced OK. I did have to clean inside where it sits, which was...

These Mantles don't last, I got 2 sent with the Westernfield lamp. They also ghostflame (not sure if thats the expression!). If You shop around on...

Not my photos but I'll take some decent ones upon arrival. Maybe the make and model stamp will reveal more?
