Hello all, I finally got around to restoring my Tilley R1 Radiator, back to her former self, as best as we can that is. The main reason why I waited so long before restoring this R1 was because I had to enjoy using her for the cold winter. Now that she has been restored this little beauty will be a shelfqueen. I believe after a few discussions from members on this Forum that this R1 came out in 1934, or there about's. I am very happy with the results, but I may be a bit bias though, I will let you decide. So here are some photos. Any comments or thoughts are quite welcome, good or bad. As in found condition. Now for the money shots. Thanks for looking.
Thanks for the photos, Brian. The brass “B” control wheel on the control cock was replaced during 1934, (see here) so you have a very fine example of an early 1930s R1 radiator. Cheers Tony
