Default Re: 1960's Tricity Viscount cooker

Tricity Viscounts were still being made in the 1990s: here's a photo of my brown-and-gold one bought in 1991.

Still going strong though will soon be given to a friend who needs something to cook the 'mash' for her hens and pigs!

The wiring is quite simple, though I have had problems with mine where the high-temperature cables between the controls and the hob-top rings get saturated with fat-splashes from the grill and the excess leakage this causes leads to random RCD-trips. I disconnected the "Lucar"' blades from the hob-rings and slipped some high-temperature heatshrink over them and along the wires as far as possible.

Problem fixed!
