Flavel B700 gas cooker

[SAWDOC]

We have an old gas cooker on board -Flavel B700. The two rings work fine, the grill is somewhat smelly and the oven does not light. I would welcome suggestions as to how viable it is to repair this model (most likely 30 years old or more) or alternatively to suggest a similar sized replacement which would slot neatly into the gimballed location where the Flavel currently resides.
Thanks!

I think your cooker may pre-date the Venessa and be a bit smaller in width. In any case the Spinflo Nelson is a near replacement, tho you may have to fiddle a bit to fit it in. The big plus for a new cooker is the flame out failsafe. You may find you gain a bit of space underneath the new cooker, useful for storage.

If £500 for a new unit is a bit much, I would look for a secondhand Vanessa, there are loads around, as they were a popular choice for caravans.

PS
I forgot to say. I would not bother fussing with the old one. It is almost certainly very difficult to find parts and, after a hard marine life, it has earned it's rest.

Thanks,
I am inclined to agree. Has anyone the dimensions of the nelson spinflo?

Look on www.socal.co.uk in the marine section and they have details of most of the popular cookers including the Nelson.
