Hi all,
I'm sick of having to swap my one meths burner between all my models so I'm looking for an original meths burner to fit my TE1A and SR1 or my ME1.
I'm in Australia so unless you take pay pal it is hard for me to send you cash but I have a lot of meccano and would swap some brass gears or some of the smaller girders (Got to keep the weight down or postage gets too high)for one.

Thanks

In what respect? Do they not work well?

Purely by chance I got an original mamod burner yesterday - came with the boat - I'm really quite impressed by it.
