[Jewelry making - Article 00066] - [Orchid] Vulcaniser- spares interchangability

    Would someone know if the heating element plates in a rubber
    vulcaniser are of a universal size/fittings - I understand voltage
    will be different?  My reason for asking is because I have recently
    obtained a used Hispana De Maquinaria model HDM vulcaniser serial No
    2201 which needs some tender loving care and possibly both heating
    plates.  I'm assuming this is the problem as both power and
    temperature lights illuminate when power is applied but no heat is
    felt from the heating elements.  I would also be interested in a copy
    of a users instruction book if possible or even that of another
    maker.  At present this vulcaniser is seized solid through corrosion
    and will need to undergo a reasonable amount of work which I'm
    prepared to do, so long as I can find replacement spares.  Any help
    would be much appreciated.
