Re: Belling Vintage heaters
Good pick Lucien!!,
I was looking for obvious asbestos, ( I cannot see any ) and I missed the mains cable. But that is an accident waiting to happen, even if its only repairing the heater and resetting the breaker.
Asbestos was VERY common in Australia, whole houses, inside and out being asbestos. It was especially common in switchboards for its obvious anti flammability properties. It was also "sprayed " into ceiling and wall cavities as light fluffy white "cotton " that was raw asbestos fibres for its heat/cold insulating properties.
That is ONE product that is still very common, with whole suberbs being "condemned " and is behind big chain mail fences, awaiting removal by specialist companies.
Sorry for being OT, mods, I did think that was pertinant having grown up surrounded by the horrible stuff.
