Wilesco D20 Electric

Sandman · Wilesco D20 Electric

You may remember I won a Wilesco D20 electric on ebay some time ago.

I'm getting it ready for a trial steaming now the weather has got a bit better.

Here are a few pics. I've only gone over it with an oily rag. The glass has gone on the gauge. I also need a tray and a weight for the safety valve. We'll see what else it needs when i try it out under steam today. Video to come.

That doesn't look too bad Sandy, hopefully you can easily remedy the minor repairs needed and I am looking forward to the upcoming video.

Looks like a good one, Sandy.
Your power controller should tame it nicely.

Seems to be in good overall shape and the missing parts can be easily replaced.

Looks very good to me.

Nice one Sandy and the gauge glass is a easy fix as most local Glaziers will cut you one for a couple of quid.
