Another Wiles Cooker Recovered
I have recently saved one more wiles cooker (senior) from the oxy torch.
This one was just about to be cut down & converted into a fuel trailer. Now I have two of these heavy old girls - one restored & one to be restored. Regards, Robert Williams Last edited by Ghost; 11-10-12 at 02:08. |

Wiles
Good save, Robert!
Looks to be in very good shape for something as old as that. Also good to be able to read the ARN. Does it have it's insides?

Wiles Pipework
Hi all - firstly well done on the save. I restored one of these under a Work For The Dole program in 2003. Always being a stickler for originality I had the pipework repainted in the original colours. However some stupid old fart did not like that and threatened to quit the museum if the pipework was not finished in brass as he remembered it in his National Service days. Anyway the committee agreed with him and once again the restoration was incorrect. Anyway I quit that lot as they all had their own agendas and politics.
Image depicts the original colours. Bob

Nice pickup
Looks to be in pretty good shape. Very glad it was saved before a horrific chop

Interesting ....
Bob's image is one converted to liquid fuel (by Army). Later conversions were to LPG (bottled). Robert, what are the boiler numbers (stamped into the face of ther boilers) and, if the nomenclature plates survive, the Wiles manufacturing number, please? Mike C |
