    Keston 170 replacement suggestions?

    As I have it open quite regularly (three times a year ish) it's in surprisingly good condition. A friend, a GS engineer, visited recently and I asked him to take a look at the inside, and he commented on how clean and tidy it was. However, he did say ..

    Keston 170 replacement suggestions?

    Keston 170 replacement suggestions?

    i think I have the only working Keston 170 in the country. Takes four or five attempts to start (been like this for five years) but it works well.
