Good video. I found a heater like yours a few years ago and I think it's time to give it a go. It's pretty dirty though. Wick is stuck and I have to buy a new one. Your video will help me fix it right the first time. Thanks for the help. Ozark, Missouri, USA
I have a perfection kerosene heater and the wick sleeve is broken. I wanted to replace it but can't get it to roll up al all because of the broken roller holes on the sleeve. What do you suggest?
I bought this heater, and cleaned it up, but it gives an uneven burn , so I bought a new wick, hoping this would change it but the same issue. Any ideas?
Your video was really helpful. I just found a Valor 525-T in an antique shop, but it needs a bit of maintenance. Is there anywhere I can buy spareparts?
I don't know how to clean the glass so this is just what I would do. I would spray it with diluted sugar soap and use ash from my fireplace as grit. Spray a little sugar soap on the paper towel and dip the paper towel in the wood ash. Then scrub the glass. This works very well for my enclosed wood burning fireplace with glass on the door.
@outie555two England , if you look on the small emblem on the front , it says made in England, there is plenty of information on the nett about the company . They also burn oil and paraffin. Great old heater cook top.

That's good to hear and I'm sure you'll be able to get it up and running. Miles Stair's wicks is where I ordered my wick from online, if that helps.
