    Great work! Just a quick note- looks like you used plumber's PTFE tape on the gas jet. For future products using gas fuel, I recommend you use the gas-rated PTFE. It's typically pale yellow in a yellow spool instead of white tape in a blue spool. It's rated for higher temperatures (and is a little thicker) so won't break down if that gas jet pipe heats up.

I think they banned them back in late 80's cause of fire risk yet damn things would heat up the bathroom quick. Gas and you lit it with a match. Better light the match before you hit the gas knob else you might lose some eyebrows. Don't ask how I know that one.

    that would be 光明 then, however nowadays usually it would be written koumyou or kōmyō. Leaving out the u or using "o" instead of "ō" is just laziness and can lead to misunderstandings, only among the crowd who can actually tell the difference though.

    I have seen different models, but only in old catalogs as the one you showed. Excellent work, sir. I would love to find one of these beauties myself.
