I'm now well into the easy part of restoration on this old timer(the pulling apart).

Information on AGA cookers is very difficult to come by. Some conspiracy theories include limited information from the company in order to keep prices high and second hand units out of the market. Certainly I got a very negative reply from the company when I asked for assistance.

No longer a pommie company, AGA has been bought by the Americans apparently, but information was never prozletised by the company anyway. Detailed information on Youtube for example, is soon taken down (for various reasons).

A new 4 oven cooker will set you back $39K or better in toady's money.

I've been able to approximate the date of this particular piece to between 1941 and 1945 and she probably came to Australia around 1950 and settled on a station in NSW. I was able to obtain ownership when foreign interests purchased the land and were not interested in what was, in effect, our history.

If anyone is interested, I now have a # of photos that give some detail in how these things work. I hope to have this going again for 2017 Christmas dinner.
