Nice 111 Arrived today from Norway. As with all stoves I did a quick dissembling and noticed the graphite packing was placed on the wrong side of the brass washer. This stove seems like it wasn’t used that much but (my hypothesis) the signs of discolouration inside might have been the result of a leak and fireball due to the graphite not placed correctly. I changed the packing and she runs like a champ! In the first picture you can see the water that boiled out.
Hi @Nico you stove appears to be going well. I reckon your stove was made around the same time as this one: Optimus 111 from 1950s Best Regards, Kerophile.
She’s running great, Yes in the 50s that’s correct from the research I’ve done here Sometimes I light up a new stove if pressure hold up in the tank but this one felt different when turning the spindle.
