Another great restoration.

Thanks. The wooden base was a bit of a bugger though 😂

eyup Alan
Great, scrubbed up nicely and Purrs like my R80/7🤣👍 and that made sense from the manufactures, "M" for metal base and "E" for wood🤣🤣
cheers

Hi Kev. Yes, not sure where they were coming from with the "E" for wooden bases! Cheers, Alan.

Ill have to try that unwarp method on the wood base of my weeden. Thanks for the useful tips, another amazing restoration as well.

Hi Timothy. I too have a couple of Weedens with banana shaped bases, must get around to sorting them out. Cheers, Alan.

Thanks Paul. Trying to straighten the wooden base was the challenge with this one! Cheers, Alan.

Lovely job. Where did you procure the box burner please? I have recently done a Mahmoud SE3 and don’t have a burner. Cheers Andy

[@RetroSteamTech]

Thanks Andi. The little gas burner is made by a company called 'Bix' you can get them from Forest Classics www.forest-classics.co.uk/ceramic-burners/rectangular-burners . Cheers, Alan.

Well done Alan. If you reach out to Tiger John on the Mamod Forum, he can probably provide you a reproduction Bowman decal for the base.

[@RetroSteamTech]

Thanks Charlie. The decals are available over here from a couple of different sources but thanks for the tip. Cheers, Alan.
