Received this from Ebay the other day. It's a 1976 Vapalux M1 in unused condition. It came with the original box but that is a little worse for wares these days as it appears to have been sat in the damp. Luckily the lamp is still pretty much as it was the day it was packed. All the accessories are present, and the instruction card is mint although a little warped.
Thanks Jeff, no this one won't be seeing a flame in the near future. The glass will stay wrapped and all the parts packed up. I hope I don't need a new vapouriser for any of my lamps, as this has two new ones with it and it would certainly be a shame to use them.
Yes, I'm planning to keep the box and put it in the loft. If I can get hold of a sheet of cardboard big enough, I'm going to make a new one for display and transport if needed.
