Restoring Seaward Princess Electric/alcohol Cooktop
It may be that the alcohol stove just needs maintenance, but I assume that means replaceable parts. Hopefully I'm wrong about that. The burners don't get hot enough. Are they replaceable? By the way, are they running 240 or 120?
Thanks!

They seem to have all of the parts.
If the burner elements don't seem to get hot enough, there is a chance someone replaced the 120v elements with 240v elements, effectively cutting them from 550 watts to 225 watts.

Re: Restoring Seaward Princess Electric/alcohol Cooktop
Do you have a model number for the stove?
Also, what was wrong with the electrical portion of the stove? How did you fix it? Good for us all to learn from what you did.

Re: Restoring Seaward Princess Electric/alcohol Cooktop
The alcohol burners - I pumped. I followed the instructions printed on the unit and in the manual. Won't stay lit. Don't have access to the model number right now, but it's the one where you have two electric elements on a top which lifts straight up revealing the two alcohol burners underneath. This really hurts because I actually love alcohol burners. Sailed my little Seafarer sloop from San Diego to Hilo and that's all I had to cook with and that was just fine.
