Wiles Junior Cooker

2632 is about right for a Wiles Junior: thanks Tony.

Burning the midnight oil again, Tony?

Up early for a Sunday morning, aren't you? The sun never sets on MLU!

Alarm goes off at 6. Sundays are like every other day around here. Morning coffee = check the email, check the forums, check several news feeds, head along the passage to the office....

2632 is the highest boiler number I have heard of - the next is 2492 on ARN 163114. But it is close enough to be the original boiler, as the records I have for the Juniors have very few boiler numbers recorded, and there are enough of them to reach 2632 at least. Wiles boilers, unlike the chassis/equipment numbers, appear to be a simple progression, so adding up the Seniors, statics and juniors, and possibly the spares, it easily comes to 2632.

I bought the scrap cooker mainly to assist in restoration of another junior.
This one did have a boiler and an oven with a build date of 1971, similar to an oven I bought from Ian Tankards collection a couple of years ago.
I have enough to put three Juniors back into operation.

Three Cookers back into to operation! Are you planning on inviting all of the MLU fraternity over for dinner?

As long as they do the dishes.

Hi Jack,

Good luck with the multi-builds. If the last sale is any indication, you could sell one to easily fund the resto on the others.

The boiler date looks like 6-8-53 to me, or am I not seeing it well enough?

Best regards

Mike
