The burner is an electo oil.

Dick - i cant recall what you said last time we spoke, but that burner would be good for you.  Its possibly bust, but theyre fixable with some effort.

I have got a Worcester  Danesmore with a suitable, I think, burner but it would be useful to have that to play with. I will be getting it going for heat in the spring as the grid tie has packed up and is not cost effective to fix (pma and possibly GTI fail) will be using it for heat though in the short term. We are probably going to pv for the electric we think

So RM if you are going there for others, don't make a special journey, then I would be interested in that at scrap price, about £5? Tempted by the Lister pump as well but got enough projects on the go.

I have a petrol powered mono MM which has the same pump bit as the mono in the photos.


RM's photo is an MS.  The MM and ML are bigger and have the suction and discharge on the center line of the pump.

You are, of course, correct  : )

Its the one in the photo that i have though - i just got the letters wrong.

Thanks for trying RM. I doubt they will get that for them even smashed up.
