Thanks - P Yup, Chilihead, is really a late ! Mine is 1.765.850 (1960), chrome, perfect, and of course from your Country ... I'd be curios to compare results with yours... design & basic assembly has never changed... but I think glass formulas and coating have evolved... send some pic when you'll have it at home.
