Is that a Drummond pre-B in the background of the second photo?

That 10% off session at SF has a lot to answer for. I ended up buying something whilst they had that offer on, too.

I wish SF sold heating oil!

Car boot sale in Wakefield.

I remembered you mentioning it, as soon as I saw it

That makes it even worse. You buy one dirt cheap to post a photo so that someone lusting after one will see it. You tart.

From a quick Google search when I got home with it I think you're right. Funny thing is, the seller had a few of them. I'd like to think it's opened many a bottle in its life and I'll make sure it opens many more!

Spent a lot of time in Crown plants around the world. As well as other can-makers.

Had a right result and picked up a wax melter for coating tools.

SEBA make the wax pots for Kennedy that they brand up as Red Hot Dip.
Worth looking under candle wax melting regularly if you're after one.

Even better I only gave £10 for it. Here's to hoping it works okay

What do the two thermostats do? Is there two heaters in there?

 

[Brad93]

Haven't had a chance to play with it yet and there was no manual.

it's a 2.5L model and as you can just about see in the picture it has a spout for pouring.

Is one a temperature the heater kicks in and the other when it turns off?

(no idea that’s just a guess?)

One is for melting initially, and the other for 'holding' - the switches selects which is in use.

Clever, that will certainly make life easy.

Silly but genuine question, but if you use those why put the protection wax on? Or are they going to be sold on?

Used to use one to dip stud ends in where the rest of the assembly was going in concrete. The concrete & asphalt guys could get crap all over and all we had to do was peel off the wax later. Kept the threads lovely and clean.
