Re: Belling Champion no.81 heater
This is a splendid example of the Champion No. 81.
I find these earlier types much more 'satisfying' than the later pressed-steel '91' versions.
You may well have to change the flex; you don't seem to have the original!
Once you have the bottom off, you will find enough of the old flex to give you an idea what it looks like. Modern equivalents are usually black with yellow fleck, or black with white fleck. These don't look good with the predominantly white type currently used on electric irons.
The bulb may very well work. The heater almost certainly will.
