Making notes...
The Rayburn is a No 1 stove, so pre-1958, and probably the later model. The difference was in the grate, which has vanished when the conversion to oil-burning was done, but there's a hole in the front which was probably for the remote control riddling mechanism.
It's still burning, but seems to be getting cooler. I suspect either the wicks or dirty oil, so I've bought a new wick set from a chap on Ebay, and a narrow brush set from the tool stall on the market. This should enable me to clean the troughs in the burner properly, if it's dirty oil that's the problem.
In other news: back at work :-(
