Im confident its 2nd generation from a video I watched on. Website which seems to specialize on Francis Francis machines. I bought this in 2007 if im not mistaken. Has been working perfectly every since. Temperature gauge does not work although it is not really useful which is why I have not bothered to change it.
May need a head seal replacement which is cheap and easy to change. That needs to be changed every couple of years. Both parts are available from craystone website. I would not bother changing the temp gaugel. You can tell when its at the right temp when the thermostat light goes off. Here is a further description that I wrote myself.
