Having had an Origo I wouldn't want to go back to gas.

I'd only do so the once, though.

Dometic are now labelling the Origo.
Check Force4 Lymington branch they may have one.

I posted pics of the gimbals for Origo 3000 on YBW a couple of years ago. Not sure if you can search and find.
Edit: I found the pictures I originally posted. If you search YBW for 'gimbals' you will find similar pictures and ideas.

And from a Leisure 23 SL, I see. mine is on an L23 (though not SL).
I’ve not removed it from in-situ at all yet, so will take it off and investigate, see about bolting into the bottom.

Dometic Sold Origo to CleanCook several years ago. CleanCook is not selling to any retail market at this time.

This German store seems to sell Origo clones under their own brand. Found this by eBay ads when looking for Origo gimbals

These clones seem to be made for camping, so it’ll be interesting to see how they cope with the corrosive marine environment. I might take a punt with one as there’s little alternative.

Hard to say. The specs say they’re made of stainless, and visually they look exactly the same as our Cookmate stove (just without the logo).

I got one of these from Toplicht in Hamburg, you need to make your own clamps and gimbals obviously.

Based on what? It's a boating store. Remember that some of the Origo models were countertop.

The link I clicked on - though it might not be the same site as you're looking as - had some references to installation in camping vans but no mention of fiddles or gimbals. (how hard can a VW corner?)
I imagine that camping could be a bigger market than yachting, but I do hope my concerns are unfounded and that they're a decent grade of stainless. As I said, I might give one a try but I'll check across a few sites/sources.

Despite the prominent instructions both in the printed instructions and on the stoves themselves, not to attempt to refill when hot, one assumes that the occasional twit thinks that the instructions don't apply to them, when just a basic knowledge of chemistry would suggest otherwise. Put meths on to a hot surface and it instantly evaporates into a highly inflammable cloud.
But one assumes that occasionally enthusiasm can gets the better of anyone, I seem to remember Dylan Winter on his hike along Offa's Dyke did exactly this, (probably with a Trangia camping stove) and admitted whilst sitting in the remains of his tent what an idiot he had been.
There is no way way I would get rid of the Origo 3000 on my boat, great little cooker, as is the old Trangia camping stove that I still use for picnics etc.

Once, and once only, I was cooking up a one pot meal on my 6000, and the burner ran out. Now, it'd been a long day of arduous sailing around the Minch, and I wasn't on my 1st glass of wine, and did find myself reaching for the alcohol bruyer bottle, to top up the still very hot burner. Fortunately, it occurred to me that I should just light the 2nd burner, and move the pot onto that. Sounds childishly simple doesn't it, but after the long day, the wine and so on, it would've been a really easy FUBAR moment.

Yes, the temptation is there when you're in the middle of cooking something and the fuel runs out.
There is no way of knowing how much is left in a burner tank before you start cooking other than by weighing it. I did toy with the idea of carying on board some means of weighing the burner tanks but decided it would be more unneccessary clutter on a small boat.
