Is anybody familiar with this type of back boiler?

I am trying to obtain a spark electrode for it. It doesn't have one nor does it appear to have a place for one go. It does however have piezo igniter and wire that is shredded but doesn't go anywhere.

I can find no other model information on its plate and none of the spares suppliers mention this model.

Does anybody know if it had another a name?

I know its old and inefficient but it works and is not required to do much, so I see no point in swapping it.

Will probably be a generic lead. Book it in for a service and inform them that you'll require a new electrode lead as well.

That would be BGC No 44-392-18

A long taper works just as well, and if it keeps going out then there's something wrong with it.

circa 1975 chances of anyone having an electrode to fit this is zilch

is it not just generic? or could something not be made up? I've never seen one of these boilers, but its very rare I can't get an electrode put together on an old boiler.

I doubt it mickey they where a one off backboiler and even in mid 80s the parts where obsolete can remember how they came apart but the old grey matter is struggling to rember the burner config.
Iwould not like to be put in situation of turning up to it and customers saying cant you rig something up
