I bought all the No. 1s I own at local flea markets. I assume there are quite a few of them in this area, since the southern part of Poland (where I live) was under the rule of the Austro-Hungarian emperor at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. I wanted to show you an early model of the Phöbus No. 1. An interesting discussion (PHOEBUS - PHÖBUS Gerson, Boehm & Rosenthal), concluded that the spelling used in the name of this model (ö) was the earliest one used.In addition, the GBR logo was used until 1916, when it was replaced by JMR. This stove had seen a lot of use, judging by the significantly enlarged hole in the pump plug and the interestingly designed flame spreader. . It also turned out that the burner, which I had laboriously cleaned of coal residue in the tubes, had a crack. I didn’t realize this until I tried to light it. I really wanted to keep this original burner, so I decided to repair it.A closer inspection revealed that it had undergone soldering repairs in the past. I managed to patch up the crack and was finally able to test it successfully.
@Knee - lovely old stove and really good to see the wonderful result of a successful repair to the original burner. Very well done and no doubt a sigh of relief when she burst into life Pharael.
@Pharael .Thanks for the compliment! Although I have various replacements, this burner was the only one of the three Phöbus models I own, and this repair seemed necessary to me.
Well done there Stanislaw on a great job, i all so agree it is nice to repair an original part rather than replace that way all remains original and all so keeps and adds history to the stove well done there
Thanks. I agree with you, Brian @mr optimus . I also like this ring that was handmade a long time ago; even though it’s not original, it’s still part of this stove’s history.
Yes Stanislaw i agree with you there, that is part of its history and all so makes the stove a bit more unique
