Goblin Swan 860 Teasmade

[Mike Watterson]

Acquired a Teasmade, 1982 Swan 860 made by Goblin Vac Co. 
A transition model when Goblin started to manufacture for Swan.
All works but how do I get the light cover off to check the bulbs?
Does anyone collect these?

I don't how it comes apart.
Of course people collect Teasmade models and radio collectors collect the ones with radios in them.

The snag is the milk unless you drink tea/coffee black. OK in half the year before central heating. The wife thinks a well trained husband is far better.

I've a Goblin Teasmade in the attic with a radio in it. The radio might be a Grundig. Some might have been made in Northern Ireland (near Newtownards, or Bangor before WWII) and NI also had a Grundig plant near Belfast. The Leatherhead label on some Goblin products might be fiction.
Also they owned a time card company and some models might have been using those clocks.
The British Vac company still did industrial vacuum cleaners when I last looked, but the Goblin brand along with many others (Burco, Russel Hobbs etc) was bought by Glen-Dimplex and international conglomerate that may outsource nearly everything to Chinese OEMs.
