In my experience, a cork gasket in good condition is equal to a Nitrile one.
Now you've made me very curious.... OK, what then is the value of - let's say - a slightly battered but fully functional and complete Svea 123?
Ian has one himself too. The Dutch Stove Collectors are mistaken that these stoves are kero's: they're petrol. Neither do I think they themselves...
So I take it your 70's have no dating codes either? Odd, whereas I have a 71 here inscribed AC (= 1938), so by then they were date-coded, whilst...
Yes Ian, That looks like the same burner cap, and btw filler cap too. Any indications of age? Jur
EBAY LINK REMOVED - EXPIRED [ATTACH] I took a bet on this clearly very old Primus 71 mainly because I was intrigued by what appeared to be a...
As usual, it took me a bit to put 1 + 1 together, and check the graphics on my old style (that is square, yellow and green) Phoebus 725 and 625...
As can be seen in one of the folowing pics, the windscreen is held by two of the panholders, fitting very closely in two sleeves. The...
Cheap, light and easy-to-DIY windscreens are shown in a few old Dutch camping manuals I have just a strip of cloth with seams on either side + a...
Here's a few pics of a small petrol stove I got a while ago, but took a bit of time to get working. Brand/type is 'Favorit Sportkocher' (which in...
It's not that difficult to overhaul those valves, them being essentially reversed non-return pump valves. Only problem is the pentagonal key...
Not visible (to me) on the pics, but probably Arabic, like so many stoves from that period? Apparantly that was for some reason a market...
Only problem with such a simmering plate seems to me that handle, when taking it along backpacking or such. But then the handle could be screwed...
Now, after all this excitement it would be interesting to learn what use these stoves are actually meant for, I mean kitchen, boat, whatever?
Maybe Henry, But how come yours has different regulator knobs (is the right one really from a 111 or does it just look like it?) whilst the...

Heating clogged burners red hot was also recommened in a pre-WWII Dutch camping handbook of mine.
Seems to be the right perspective on these - clearly ridiculously overrated - 22's. I wouldn't mind relieving someone of his, but only if asked...
OK, but how to fill that Zippo can in the first place? Its neck is even smaller than a 71/80's.
This is way beyond me. Could someone explain why this 'Eta' stove's canister is in a plate with water? (or is it wodka, or maybe just plain petrol?)
