    I got this a few weeks ago. My second 00. This is 1 of 2 recent acquisitions that 'was' on my short list. A Radius 20, photos later, is the other.
    This one with the tin and I believe all the parts.
    Hard for me to determine date, even after reading Bryan's great documents, but I know the folding feet make it later than the bun or fixed feet versions. The travel cap fits on the pump knob. The pump knob and windscreen also help to date it, so I hope these pictures capture that well enough.
    A flame shot, during the day, at the end. Yellow tips ... I haven't burned enough fuel it it to have cleaned the lines out. After that I will check the jet.
    Thanks to Fettle Box for the washers.

    Enjoy,
    Ken in NC

    Snwcmpr: Very nice stove. I'm beginning to like these OO-L's more and more. Do you have a sense regarding how many tanks you would go through before you decide that the yellow flame tips likely mean that a new jet is needed? I suspect that it depends on the stove, but after two or three full tanks with no improvement has a trend developed? Thanks again for sharing. PWW

    I like the OO very much.
    It was my first stove I bought from Hytta.de as NOS.
    They have a good size tank and a nice burner.
    The OO and the 210 are my favourite stoves (anda fewmore) :-)

    Hi Ken. ohhh, I love the 00's. This is very nice with all the bits. Maybe someday I will find one of the patent ones. I have a newer one that I really like.
