Title: Smoke Unit identification
Post by: rnli12 on April 01, 2022, 06:26:40 pm

Hi,
Anyone know what time smoke units these maybe without ripping eveything out, run on 6v and produce smoke but doesnt seem to be any fluid/oil in them?
Regards,
Rich

It looks to me like a seuthe unit. You can find them on google and places like Osborn models and Gaugemaster have them listed.  I like them though I've not used them for years, I have a new one in the drawer ready at some point.  Two types of oil, one "constant" and one that "pops" regularly.  I only ever used the "pop" oil myself, it spatters a bit but easily cleaned up.  I've never run mine dry though as I understand that's a recipe for disaster.


Not sure if that helps or not,
