Surveyor Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) I wasn't going to bid on this but its a variant I have only seen pictures of, any one has information on how common these were? Edited June 25, 2020 by Surveyor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrym Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I believe these were an early model, we had them as part of our vehicle CES, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surveyor Posted June 25, 2020 Author Share Posted June 25, 2020 Thanks this one does say 1975 but the label mentions unleaded petrol so assume its been modified Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that's a puzzle, the instructions for this appear to be on metal and the others a "sticky label" need to source a supplier for the label Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 NSN 7310-990125-1745 indicates it is an early model. Following the fitting of a new burner assembly which increased the thermal output, producing cleaner combustion & simpler to operate it was designated 7310-99-139-4087 on a replacement plate.

fv1609 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 In this upgrade the brass instruction plate was removed & replaced by a self-adhesive label. There were three issues of the upgrade. I don't know the actual date of the first issue but it was listed as current in Feb 1981, subsequent issues were Aug 1982 & Sep 1985. Unmodified cookers were modified to the burner grid from Jul 1989 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
