Buy and older one if you can. Older the better as the quality keeps going down.

I always buy pre 1976 ones with the spirit burner and water level plugs as opposed to the dreadfull smelly tablets and sight glass.

Repair is childs play. Its just soft solder and pop rivetts.

Parts readily availible and fairly cheap, but lots of bits soon add up in terms of cost. Buy one as complete as you can.

The bushes in the boiler are the only difficult repair on the mobile models as you can't take the end off the boiler to solder it back in.
