    Here is one of my latest stoves that has become one of my real favorites. This is a composite 111T. Having parts from many different stoves. The case is from a Swedish army 111 that came to me empty with only the wrench and pot supports. The burner and tank is a later 111T that came to me with out a case. It had an “O” ring stile pump that did work as smoothly a leather cup pump so that got changed. Besides the older pumps had prettier double nurling. I'm not sure what the black knob ed regulator handle came from, but it does have the appropriate “close” “clean” on it, and it fits,
    I have put together a spare parts kit (one part of getting older is that the doctor makes sure you have plenty of empty pill bottles to put things in). With the two restrictors, white gas, and alcohol, when using the “M” jet (.013”), and the alcohol jet (.020”). I have also included in my kit a jet marked “G” (.015”) which I find gives optimal performance when burning white gas. There is also a spare cleaning needle and regulator spindle.
    The small holes on the top and front of the lid are from the rivets that held the name plate and instructions to the lid. Since they don't really pertain to this stove any more I left them off.
    The 111T all original or composite stove such as mine is real performer. It will boil water or melt snow like a champ, or it will simmer a pot of rice with ease. At well over 4 lbs it no backpacking stove, but on a car or motorcycle trip its my personal favorite.
    As a final note. Newbees beware this stove shows how easy it is to put together a good “user” from parts around the shop. Be careful when searching for that all origanal collectors piece. Frankys like mine are out there. I will never call mine a real 111T, its a composite or Frankenstove.

    Enjoy the pics Rick 1307295614-IMG_1422_opt.jpg 1307295650-IMG_1424_opt.jpg 1307295676-IMG_1426_opt.jpg 1307295710-IMG_1428_opt.jpg 1307295758-IMG_1429_opt.jpg 1307295829-IMG_1430_opt.jpg 1307295857-IMG_1433_opt.jpg

    I think you are infected with an incurable strain of stove pox, or "stove-coli" :shock: ---it isn't fatal, it's "fettle!" :lol: :D/ :lol: :D/ :lol: :D/
