I like that - never have been able to buy one at my price (cheap-cheap) but still have high hopes. And it did clean up well especially after being extensively used.

Thanks
I bought this from a hobby shop owner in Kenosha Wisconsin in the early 1990s. It was bought in used, but unfired condition with the original box and accessories for a reasonable price. I fired it many times with esbit, and eventually
converted it to a butane gas burner that I made myself. However I later removed the burner for another project.
I now use an early mamod meths burner from an early 70s TE1a. It had sat neglected at my  mothers home for
several years until I decided to clean it up and do some polishing. It is now displayed with pride in my collection once again.
