Old Potterton Timer (1960's)

[mfarrow]

My parents still have one installed at home. Anyone seen them elsewhere? It seems to be very robust.

Borrowed from Electrics.

A variant of the Horstman Emerald. Also fitted to many Trianco and Thorn boilers

Don't reckon she'll still be there, unless she's moved into the new yuppie flats that now occupy the old Potterton site in Wandsorth.

21 pages in the brochure and no mention of hpw much a flast will cost me

But then I started having second thoughts when I worked out "Filaments" is a contraction of Infill & Tenements.

We had a Potterton boiler just like the one in the picture and it lasted 40 ish years before the heat exchanger rotted through.

That's easy, find an old dial phone and dial 0208 followed by the dial letters V A N then the four digit number.

That would give you 826 for Vandyke.

But its actually been changed since to 874 and is for the Wandsworth area.
