Basic restore - Valor 525-R Paraffin Kerosene heater

[@condeerogers5858]

Good video. I found a heater like yours a few years ago and I think it's time to give it a go. It's pretty dirty though. Wick is stuck and I have to buy a new one. Your video will help me fix it right the first time. Thanks for the help. Ozark, Missouri, USA

That's good to hear and I'm sure you'll be able to get it up and running. Miles Stair's wicks is where I ordered my wick from online, if that helps.

I bought this heater, and cleaned it up, but it gives an uneven burn , so I bought a new wick, hoping this would change it but the same issue. Any ideas?

I LIKED YOUR VIDEO AND I GOT SOME KNOWLEDGE FROM YOU I JUST PURCHASED A 735 PYRAX WITH GLOBE AND I DON,T HOW TO CLEAN THE GLOBEIVAN FROM ILLINOIS.

I don't know how to clean the glass so this is just what I would do. I would spray it with diluted sugar soap and use ash from my fireplace as grit. Spray a little sugar soap on the paper towel and dip the paper towel in the wood ash. Then scrub the glass. This works very well for my enclosed wood burning fireplace with glass on the door.

Your video was really helpful. I just found a Valor 525-T in an antique shop, but it needs a bit of maintenance. Is there anywhere I can buy spareparts?

[@outie555two]

I got my wicks online from the UK. There are a few online stores and parts might be the same as the American brand which is similar

[@timschweigert9998]

I have one

[@outie555two]

It seems pretty good for something so old. Do you know when they were made?

[@doriankeating1963]

​@outie555two England , if you look on the small emblem on the front , it says made in England, there is plenty of information on the nett about the company . They also burn oil and paraffin. Great old heater cook top.
