Great acquisition! These things are of good quality and they’re built to last. Only the paint and wiring deteriorates, as you can see. I would completely disassemble it, remove all the old paint, repaint or enamel it and replace all of the wiring. There is a KZread video of someone doing this with an old L & R machine. They use a spray on enamel which is then baked to harden it. The machine comes out looking like new.

Hello mercurial how are you thanks for info

Hi, I refurbished one of these, I used VHT wrinkle paint, and I was a perfect match to the original and it's heat proof, from Amazon UK. I rewired mine because the controller had failed it was a pain, yours looks original I would get an electrician to check it over if they are happy its safe leave as is.
