Cool er, or rather that's HOT!
 
Nice job, Frank. How did you get the nameplate looking so good?
 
Looks beautiful. Nice job. And we do need more info on how you cleaned it up. I've got mine to do, so any hints will be appreciated.
 
Great job Frank! Do you hire out?
 
He didn't do that. He bought it new from the UK and paid a thousand bucks for it.......
 
Bill: No, really I did it all, but I wonder if any of these heaters will be for sale next weekend at Stoneleigh. Remember $1000 is only ÂŁ500 lately! Please stay tuned for a complete report. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif
 
Got one but different on fan side, gonna be offloading, no use to me here in oz, came in a oddlot of AH bits I bought as spares, contact me for info/pics if interested, its an as is, about 8"dia and 8" deep for the coil section
 
Paul et al: sorry for the late reply. I've been traveling quite a bit lately - off to Stoneleigh tomorrow.

new labels are available on the web for under $10. They are blank and I stamped this one in my shop.

cheers Frank
 
nothing fancy - Eastwood entry-level gun and power pack and our old Jennair range/oven. The biggest challenge was building the small hood over the range. I'll post some photos when I get back home - real rube goldberg affair.
