Good evening! Below are some pictures from my new Primus No 70 stove that I bought for about 1 month ago. I haven't tried it yet, but as soon I've some time over - I'll give it a try! Best Regards, Magnus Thilander
Hello Magnus, Very cute nickled No.70! However, the support shows the (expected) 71 number, but it is a very nice combination! I bet you had to apply some "elbow grease" to bring it up to this condition; well done! I did think that the 71 was the 70 with a control valve. Of course you can screw the burner-cum-valve into a 70 tank, so no real clues there. Unless the only feature that sets the 71 apart from the 70 is just that safety "spike", but your pictures show that spike clearly. Now I really wonder what made Primus to introduce the 71 as a new model number as the 70 ended up with the same features. The only 70 I have is brass, with seperate meth's dish, screwcap on chain to replace the burner, no control valve nor pressure relief. Somebody out there with a Primus brochure around 1930? Cheers, regards, Mike
This is the last variant of the 70 c1931. Primus sold the older non-control cock version concurrently for a short period. The outfit with just the 2 part windshield & no pans was the 70D - this was introduced the at the same time the 'safety pin' came out. The first version of the 71 was the same as this 70 - it was basically just a renumbering exercise.
