The wheel doesn't seem very scratched either so i think it hasn't been on long. |

agreed. The fan had very few marks/scratches on. Same as the chamber not many marks in there. I reckon this was fully serviced at one point then hardly used and just stowed away |

I have no idea. I didn't replace the mains cable or anything. Maybe i should put a new plug on as well. |

Yes, a plug with sleeved pins would be a lot safer. Do you know what the pins are now sleeved? |

seen some atrocious plug arrangements over the years indeed my own parents would regularly poke the bare ends of cables into sockets and secure them with a couple of match sticks and my dad would constantly be taking a plug off one thing to put on another and yet sometimes i wonder have we really progressed that much with our trailing bar sockets .I was in a house last week that had one of these in the kitchen with a washing machine .a toaster and an electric kettle and a microwave all plugged into it .I had been called out to the brand new washer the customer said it was blowing fuses all the time [i wonder why]trying to explain to this person that there was nothing wrong with the washer [and everything wrong with the plug arrangement ]was like trying to knit treacle .the odd thing was the house had recently been rewired and there were sockets everywhere so after some rearranging i managed to convince the customer that everything would be OK so back to what i said earlier have we really progressed from the old three way adapter at least you could only put three plugs into one of them and you didn't have that yard or so of flex to contend with
