Had it almost half my life...went on every trip with me..never let me down..didn't make a noise..just did its job. Only 30 years out of warranty too.....
Yep, my trusty old Finch 3way died this morning...went to fire it up on gas & had two
gas jets instead of one...as the unwanted one turned the wiring into a molten mess,
with accompanying black smoke..I refrained from using the extinguisher & turned off
its life support at the bottle....I knew CPR wasn't going to cut it.
After I stopped crying..it was onto the net for a new one..going away Saturday..no
time to lose. He'll get a proper Engel this time, you thinks ???. Wrong, wrong...
love that gas...no tricky solar substations, batteries & the like. After due diligence
I had to drive to Juliaville for a nice new Gasmate from Repco, & it now sits on the kitchen floor quickly bringing a doz stubbies of Old to the required state. Will treat it to a dose of lpg tomorrow, & back into the Jack it goes ready for the big trip west.
Funeral ? I hear you ask...no, no, out into the shed as a storage box.
Wake ? Definitely. No more wasting time with you lot..it starts NOW...:)))).
cheers.....oldbaz.
