I have a W.L. Jackson

it still works. It's a 1976 electric model they intro'd to supposedly save the company. I suspect the first run were the best and perhaps only good heaters they ever made. They were in response to OPEC oil embargo and energy savings. Insulated, fiberglass internal, glass lined. No swirl tube, barely adequate drainage. I replaced the coils twice, and the thermos once. It was around $450 - a lot in the 70s.

They went BK in 1983. I read somewhere their heaters were not too good so they had to extend credit to contractors to move them, which is why they had BK problems over the years. Don't know if that's true. Sort of explains how I got one.

I'm sure everyone is interested in such trivia. Just a Sat night vent.
