Spare parts for teasmades

Spare parts and teapots

Spares for obsolete teasmades are no longer manufactured. Your options are:

• Online parts retailers for standard parts.
• Long established electrical shops holding old stocks in their store rooms. If you own a Goblin you could try Hawkins Electrical in Penkridge, telephone 01785 714956. The shop is now closed but the website is still live. Gordon Hawkins carries/carried a large stocks of parts, including many bought direct from Goblin when their models became obsolete.
• Ebay, other online sales platforms, and car boot sales – look for single parts for sale, and complete vintage teasmades which can be cannibalised.
• Clock repairers, who may hold standard parts in stock.
