dfk41 Jlmartin Hiya Jim, can you explain to me how I can get to the underneath so as I can take a look to see if it has rusted all the way though? I have some photos of before it was painted and I am pretty sure it was just surface rust
DavecUK dfk41 Why not repost the photo of the base before you painted it with rust stop hammerite or whatever it was. It did look like just surface rust.
Jlmartin Justin! Of course if you take an m20 bit undo the screw and just take the plastic base off and look underneath. Maybe not worth replacing the base as would just increase costs.
nopapercup Looking at the switch and the water level indicator on the side, if it’s a premil than it’s no older than 1990s.
