The other way to look for one is to identify the manufacturer
(such as Honeywell) and the part number, and look for that.
Look to see what's written on the current part.

This appliance is very old.
If you were told it was scarce by a boiler spares shop then I would take
that as the truth. If you were told that by BG or any other large service
company the I would try a spares shop you might be in luck.

Any multifunction control valve with a conventional thermocouple will do.
It may need a bit of cutting and adjusting of pipe to get it in.

Since When? I used to do it all the time with imported American Forced air
units. Cheaper and quicker to put a Honeywell multifunction valve on.
