1950s(?) gas cooker servicing

[Puddle]

So.is anyone here saying a service will defiantly sort out the problems on this 50 odd year cooker ? because to full service on this cooker is going to cost over £ 150 in Tooting and that is being conservative and if not sorted ,you can not get parts ,so a new cooker will be required,so now we have spent over £150 and still have to pay for a new cooker

I agree with you too Puddle.
Even if they find someone who can do it it won't be cheap and no guarantee of it being returned to full serviceable condition but only the man standing in front of the job can answer that.

agree with both puddle and tamz.....but if the guy is determined to keep his classic cooker....gotta be a bit like a classic car....you just gotta throw buckets of money at it and nurture it!!! 🙂

We are all right probably, it just comes down to cost as usual. Must admit I do not like some of the modern stuff, not because it doesn't look right, its just that the matériels they are made of seem fairly weak. On some the stove enamel you can virtually see through it, it is so thin. I had a 3 month old well known make in which the burner glass lid hinge which operated the burners safety shut off valve broke. Taken apart the inner workings had disintegrated being that cheap grey alloy stuff. It also burnt nearly everything put in its oven.

But as said if the cooker is wearing badly is it worth renewing?
