Well well well
After a tip off from hogsy about a two tone brown kettle gasser that just listed on gumtree
I was hesitant at first for a few minutes and then said fffuuuccckkk yyyeeeaaahh I'm on that
Called and spoke to Andi a very nice older gent who wasn't overly happy about selling it
After I told him I collect kettles and already had a red and a green he really opened up and was on for a chat ( unlike red gas kettle seller)
After chatting for five minutes or so on where I live and were he lives
He got back to kettle talk and said he bought it 4 years ago second hand and he has all the original documentation from when sold new including the manual and other pamphlets
Big win here as I haven't seen orig manual
I told Andi I would pay full price and not beat him down as I thought $70 was fair
Andi kindly offered to wrap and pack for free
Hang on phones ringing
I'm back it was Andi he said warrior was ready to be shipped
I said we'll when the payment shows in your account let me know so I can book the courier
Andi says just book it I trust that you have paid me
So I booked courier and its getting picked up today
It could arrive before red gasser or on the same day
Oh fuck how to explain that to SWMBO
Anyway here's a listing pic
