hi gang,
lets all wish peter luck with that single pot on ebay. im watching the bids, ill be disappointed if any of us bid against him! [img]smile.gif[/img]
well, id like to say its been alot of fun chatting with all of you, but all good things must come to an end.
i did the ebay thing for safety systems and sold alot of systems, kits etc. but guess what? only one for a chambers! 90% were for o'keefe and the rest were for older tappans, wedgewood etc. i am holding a complete system for a "hope to be" chambers owner. but no light at the end of the tunnel. they are in south dakota, if you know of stove available there, email me.
i prefabbed 5 safety systems for chambers, direct bolt on, but have been taking them apaert to make other systems. i still have one complete system for a chambers model c if anyone is interested, easy conversion for model b ......
i guess i just cant understand why someone would pay 200 bucks for a thermobaker or 100 bucks for a thin aluminum 7 qt pot and not want to make a 50 y/o appliance safe to use.
anyway, its time to move on. ive done all i want to do with chambers and other vintage stoves. ill check in from time to time.
if anyone wants ts-11j or baso hr15 valves at below wholesale let me know.

I'm new here, so I have no idea what you were/are offering, and how it compares to the safety systems offered by other sites (TOAC). Would you please fill me (and other newbies) in?

Perhaps we'd be interested?

I certainly want a safe stove, but I just don't happen to own one quite yet - hopefully soon. A safety system will be mandatory for my future restoration. I can't choose between systems if I don't know the options. Thanks.

P.S. Both my brother and my grandmother were each blown across the kitchen by (two different) malfunctioning gas ovens. They could have been seriously injured or worse. It was scary.

Gas safety is a big deal. Please be careful.

Tom,

I second Tura's comment and regret your decision.

You're contributions to the board are invariably invaluable and always fascinating. When your name is attached to a post, I read it.

I agree with you that a safety system is essential and definitely will install one before using the stove, but like Tura we can't install the stove for a bit. In our case the kitchen will need some changes first.

Tom,

I'm planning on making my stove save as well, but I'm just not there yet. I'm still refinishing it and it's all in pieces. I've to concentrate on getting replacement parts, rechroming etc. Then I was going to look into the safety system.

Tom,

Don't give up on us! I need a system for a model B but havn't put it in the kitchen yet. The model I have now is not able to be be restored. But I definately need one.

Tom:

Say it ain't so! Don't go!

I also want a safety system for my B and for a C I am restoring. I know what you're thinking: S**t or get off the pot.

I just gotta wait for another coupla paychecks.

Hi Tom,

Sorry to see you moving on. Your dialogue has always been very interesting and informative.

I plan to get a safety system, but need to wait until my stove is in my next house so I can test it. There's not much point in installing a safety right now when I can't test it. My stove is just waiting patiently in the garage until that day.

I agree - EVERYONE should have a safety in their stove. I would be afraid to NOT have one.

Take care,
Tura.

hi gang,
thanks for all the posts and private emails!
just wanted to clarify;
my comments about safety systems were just my usual fyi rambling, in no way meant to infer any dissatisfaction with this board or its members. ive been an active member here far longer than ive been making safety's. i started making them because i wanted one but didnt want to pay a premium to someone else to make it. ive made quite a few and leaned alot about old stoves. but its very time consuming. ex; i spent 5 hrs learning how a 1923 magic chef was built and operates before i could figure out a system that met mine and the owners criteria.
its been fun but i just dont have the time anymore (according to my wife!).
so, ill be around, and ill be happy to tell you how to make a safety system and save some money.
i just finished my LAST chambers project; easy in/out change from thermowell to stove top burner. can be switched back and forth in 5 minutes but the modifications needed are not for the faint of heart!
enjoy cooking with the gas off!
