Somewhere before the 1/4/2005 upgrade to Part L. It must have been the inspriation for the retro fitting of electronic ignition to models like the Kingfisher and Mexico. --Makewrite 20:20, 21 February 2007 (GMT)
A long time before 1/4/2005! I'm guessing around 20 years ago but it'd be nice to know exactly when.
Were there 'electronic' versions of the Mexico & Kingfisher? (My Ideal manuals are up in the attic and I cba to dig them out right now.) I haven't come across many Kingfishers but all the Mexicos I know are permanent-pilot-light types. --John Stumbles 00:11, 22 February 2007 (GMT)
