Thanks for this! In the 1960s I think there was a mix of 13 5 and 15 amp sockets? I don't think you would work too well off a 5 amp socket! |

Re: Vintage 1950 twin Electric Belling Cooker
I am also interested, it probably just had more heavy-duty electrical contacts in the switches and simmerstats, I would think a DC model would work fine on AC? Any one know?

Re: Vintage 1950 twin Electric Belling Cooker
A modified sine wave inverter should be fine. The important point is not the shape of the waveform but the fact that the voltage and current drop to zero twice each mains cycle, thereby helping to extinguish any arc.

Re: Vintage 1950 twin Electric Belling Cooker
I have the original 51H Twin baby belling cooker instructions and recipes booklet that came with the cooker and bought the belling cookery book 1955 from ebay.
The books are really cool, they cover everything from basic cooker maintenance to best kitchen practice and even burns and scalds, not to mention how to prepare the food! Also the 51H booklet said suitable for eather 13 amp or 15 amp three pin plug, so that settles that, and my cooker is the AC model, I looked and the badge on the back closely. |

Re: Vintage 1950 twin Electric Belling Cooker
I have asked belling for a service manual for the model 51H and if they have spare parts. Wish me luck!
