Somewhere in the late 1940s. Probably around 1946 to 1948. Where is the logo positioned on the collar and what does the top of the tank look like...
Is the end of the pinion loose so that it can be pulled out with some long nosed pliers? Or maybe pull the cleaning needle rod out as it rotates...
Until you put it in the gallery. :) I think it belongs there.
I think you are right. That would also fit better if the 1019 is later than 1932. @Lahtinen I am still interested in the unusual burner. If it is...
The straight tubes were used on the first heaters from 1927 and 1928. From 1929 on they had the curved tubes.
The 1019 would be W, not M, making it 1932. That is earlier than I thought they made the 1019, but it is good to learn something new. Good...
There are a lot of similarities between the 1011 and the 158. The tank is the same size and the handle is the same. The reflector has the same...
Where is the fuel coming from? If unvapourised fuel comes from the jet, then it is not hot enough.
That is a strange one. Definitely a 930 copy, but I have no idea who has made it. The Zimbabwe version is comparatively well marked.
What size jet did you end up getting?
Looks to be a good project. I hope you can find a pump in Oz. Postage from overseas can be expensive and time consuming. Let me know if you need...
I wouldn't say stupid. What you've done so far is pretty good. I look forward to seeing the version 2 of the holding arm. If you need any pictures...
That dome is certainly heating up. I wonder if it is actually too low. On my heaters, the bottom edge of the dome is approximately 15mm above the...
4047 is the number of the complete burner, not just the jet. I don't have access to any of my catalogues just now, but it wouldn't be hard to find...
If that is burning on alcohol, then it is set up correctly for that fuel. It must be a later replacement though as I have never heard of a 158...
This is the last variation of the 1200M and was produced in the (late?) 1980s and possibly 1990s. They were made with parts bought in from...
Very nice find. This is the earliest 158 I have seen, maybe it is the first year they were made. They are not mentioned in a 1934 catalogue, but...
Willow did all sorts of sheet metal fabrication. I remember my Mum's baking dish and biscuit trays were from Willow.
Thanks for the extra photo Derek. I liked the look of them and have actually ordered a couple. They should arrive any day. I'll arrange some...
Well done Darryl. It appears to be working well. The 119 usually works well and is a quiet runner. The one you have would be from somewhere...
