I love the rounded shape of No. 00, and I'd been looking for an affordable No. 00 for a while. I recently found one at a Japanese online auction, so I bought it and did a little repair work on it. The box had a hole in it. I filled it with solder. The surface paint was also damaged. I loosened the old oil with kerosene, then gently cleaned it with mild detergent and a nylon brush. The crimping on the vaporizer mounting point had come loose, or perhaps the previous owner had fixed it with solder. I removed everything and re-soldered it with silver solder. They also gave me the damaged NRV. I reconnected it using silver brazing. The female thread for attaching the NRV was loose, so I couldn't attach it. I restored the thread by tightening it with a vise. It has been repaired. This stove is lighter than other similar Swedish stoves. Is it just my No. 00? I imagined it might be due to a shortage of materials in Germany at the time. I'm not knowledgeable about this, so I might be wrong. I also heard that there are several variations of No. 00. This No. 00 might be a relatively newer model. My ancestors were still alive. Haha. Unfortunately, the spirit bottle was missing, so I made one myself out of brass. It doesn't look great, but I'm happy that it filled the gap in the box. I tried brewing coffee for breakfast. I was so engrossed in looking at No.00 that it boiled over and soaked my desk. Thank you.
What a beautiful little stove! You did a very thorough job on all the restoration work. You did a great job on that little brass bottle. The photos from the breakfast table are excellent!
@Pharael @Stanisław Grajewski @Sellig33 Thank you all! The only disappointing thing is that the muted brass color has become shiny. @Knee It's my first time making a brass bottle, but to be honest, it's pretty cool. Everything is a challenge, so I will continue to create and hone my skills. I secretly used the stove in the morning when my wife wasn't home. When I use it when my wife is at home, she says it stinks.
