Experience with parts and updating for Hi Seas Marine Heater 100-C-8 bulkhead mount

[SVTwilight]

This heater came with the boat, unused for probably 20 years. Original company from Seattle long out of business.

I would just replace it with a Dickinson Newport, but that new footprint would require a major reworking of the space.

SO, if possible I would like to just replace all the internals.

Has anyone done this with this specific heater? Is it reasonably accomplished?

Has anyone found a secret source for compatible parts and consumables like seals and wicks?

I will call Dickinson on Monday to see if they might be able to help, but I thought I would ask around first.

Thanks!

Well Dickinson wont sell me parts for it. I suppose I cannot blame them for fear of fattening the fortunes of lawyers.

Anyone else have one of these or know where to source suitable parts?
