Just about to start work on an Ekco SW86, kindly donated by Mike O'Sullivan years ago. It had been in his family from new. I love the inscription on the back: absolutely no gas or coal required here! If anyone has worked on the SW86 and can offer advice, I'd be grateful. I have the NZVRS notes. Cheers, Lawrence -- Attachments:

And Richard and James had an item in Bulletin Vol40 (2019)about SW86 "issues".

I have worked on a few of these, and am happy to offer advice. Thanks! I am working through it steadily at the moment. The on/off switch seems to be broken, so I will need to repair or replace the pot, which doesn’t look original. And the handle on the big tuning knob is missing. Any idea where I could source a replacement? Thanks! Lawrence —

Found an in-keeping pot and fitted it tonight.

I have a spare big tuning knob which you are welcome to have. Send me your address in a PM. Cheers, James
