The wiles junior was used until 1979.
The wiles senior lasted until 1985 with the very last ones beening LP Gas fired.
I will when I get time start restoring a senior cooker.
The steamer pots were tinned.
I will be retinning my pots.
I don't think galvanising is legal for food use.
My plan so far is to purchase pure tin..........must be pure food grade with no other metals in the mix from overseas......ie America.
The process is a bit like soldering using a LPG burner and spread the tin over the pots with the tin following the heat.
The pots would have to be sand blasted for the tin to flow.
