My dad gave me an old radiant electric heater that his dad had in his old shop.

Here is the tag on it,

Anyone know much about these?

He also has a 5 foot model I can have if I need it.

I need something at the front of the garage (12x44) to keep my oils, stains, and general "stuff" from freezing.

well, I took it apart cleaned it out, polished the reflector, listened to the GF lecture me on how unsafe things from the 70's were, blah blah

wired in 220 30 amp to the wall attached it to a baseboard heater thermostat and turned it on. Besides the meter hitting ludicrous speed the thing works amazing.

The heater is fine with a thermostat, the girl friend can be sold on craigslist !
