[VAC] Vintage Appliance Guru in Colorado? (Bowen and/or Dometic)
I nearly havemy 1961 Bambi strippedon the inside. Priortoputting her
back together, I need to decide on what to do with the original Bowen
water heater & Doemtic frige. Does anyone out there know of a "Guru"
in Colorado (Denver area) that can help evaluate the condition of these
appliances? I would love to keep/restore them if possible.
On initial inspection by an Airstrem dealer in Boise (American Way) I
was toldthe Bowen heater ignited fine. It wasempty, so I have no idea
what the water pressure is like. They also said the Dometic M16 frige
lights like a flame thrower but might work if cleaned out.
Are there major advantages to upgrading to a new water heater?
Any other advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated!
