Default Re: Magicook 134 & GEC tropicana fan heater

My parents had a "Tropicana" [complete with grey ribbed mains-lead] in the 1960s.

[They also had a Philips one that looked very similar - like this - https://www.deconstructionart.com/th...-multi-sucked/ - that had a tendency to trip its overheat-reset on a frequent schedule so soon got thrown out, while the Tropicana soldiered on into the early-70s when the house got an upgrade to full oil central-heating so fan-heaters became unnecessary].
