Hi Dave
I can not see any decal on the Pics posted, probably got lost in the conversion to up load. That said you can confirm you have a Mamod.
I googled Mamod ME1 and came up with a load of data and U-tube accounts regarding this model from the 1970's.

a very early 1937 version

Should be easy enough to fabricate a fire grate to take either the solid tablets or meths.
there is a useful site at

In my opinion the users had the pressure valve set far too high resulting in the high level of vibration also caused by the engine not mounted securely whilst running.
I would pressure test the boiler before steaming as it is over 40years old.
The prop does need to be in water to lubricate the bearing and in the videos I suspect a worn bearing is also part of the vibration problem.
Hope this helps you progress but please do take care and don't follow the unwise running practices shown in the video.
