I have a project stove that is missing a outer cap on the silent burner. I've had a fellow member offer to help be find a replacement. I need to properly identify the stove and the replacement cap first. I've included a picture from Jan Romsgaard in the collectors gallery of what appears to be the exact same stove as well as a picture of my stove prior to dismantling. It is simply described as a SVEA range stove. Any help in identifying the correct replacement part would be greatly apreciated! Click on the images to enlarge them:
Hi If the tank lid is original it is probably a Primus HOWEVER it would be very unusual for Primus not to have their brand name on it somewhere. Try the pump lid (the cap that the pump rod runs through) They sometimes put the brand name on that especially on nickel plated parts. Whilst it is probably a Primus I have no idea what model it is. In the Primus brochure section of this website there are some brochures showing domestic Primus models. If you look through that you may find the model Regards Bryan
Could it also be a Handi? Looking at the trivet portion looks somewhat similar to some of Albert White's stoves. Hard for me to say for sure because we don't see these around here and its a treat to view others collections when it comes to soem of these cool stoves. Even Coleman, way back , had stoves similar to this, but again, their a needle in the haystack to find.
Isn't this the same type of stove that Lance posted a pic of the other night? (Club House Forum - Ted's need'n help...) He got it from Handi-Albert...
Yes, very similar, that's what reminded me to post the question. I see some are saying it may be a Primus. I'm not sure yet though. I found what look to be another identicle picture in the SVEA catalogue [/url]http://www. They seem to show a silent and a ...o have a closer look at it when I get home...
Canadian Burner I have an Australian 'Companion' (obtained from Albert a couple of years ago). It is an Australian version of the Svea stove. Yours looks to be very similar.
Shagratort, that is a beautiful stove. I hope mine will look near as nice as yours when I,m done! Well I guess it is a SVEA! Should have looked closer! Here is some of the work ahead of me. I think the sandblaster will make short work of it! I will have to fabricate the stabilizer that goes to the bottom of the burner! (see below) And of course, I will have to find the missing piece. I believe Bryan may have already helped me with that!
Evening, CB, Great find on your SVEA!! After you work on it, I'll bet it will come close to looking like that stunner that Shagratork has, too! Trevor, your's is an outstanding stove!!! Very nice, indeed! I have a double burner Handi Stovette, and when I first saw CB's stove, I thought it might be a Handi, like you thought. But, it's great that his is a SVEA, yours is a Companion, and mine is a Handi!!! Yet the design of each is very similar! Pretty cool, huh? Well, about time to read for a while, then hit the sack. Tomorrow finds me out in the woods, but instead of camping and playing with stoves, I'll be back to cutting wood for the winter!! For the price of a $20 permit, I can cut 4 cords of downed oak!! Very nice price for such good burning wood. Last time I actually bought wood, I got three cords for about $600!! A few years ago, I cut my own 3 cords and, though it was a lot of work, it was well worth it. This year should be even better, with a much better quality of wood, and all oak, too, instead of the mixed hardwoods I cut three years ago. Thank God for a good chainsaw!!! Take care, and God Bless! Every Good Wish, Doc Mark
Hi By the photos it looks as if the tank lid, pump cap and pump knob are not original as usually the makers nickel plated these to match the tanks. Regards Bryan
OK now you are in my type of stoves. 1) It is not a Handi (stovette). In this model Handi has a Copper tank, The filler cap takes a 15/16" cap seal. The steel work does not bend around the tank. Handi has 1 flat support rod, not a bent one like that. 2) It looks like a Companion (tis was mde in Aust) but the filler seal on companion also has a 15/16 " seal. Also Companion is branded on one end of the tank. Both Companion and your stove has the sloted hole just above the tank. Companoin has a Brass tank. 3) I think Companion was owned by or bought out SVEA. I think SVEA has a 3/4" filler cap seal. My money is on SVEA. None of the above 3 was nickel plated Well I have never seen this in the Handi or Companion range. SVEA I am not sure of. Outer flame ring. These are the same as the Primus number 5sor. Any ring/spreader this size will work. It may be branded with a different name, but so what.
Hi Canadian Burner Well, now we know it is a SVEA. I have one SVEA 154 (tank on the left hand side) and one SVEA 155 (tank on the right). Both have adjustable silent burnes and can be linked together to make a two burner stove. As can be seen from this photo they look much like the stove in question. Some years ago I saw a SVEA 153. Almost the same stove as a 155 but with nonadjustable silent burner. I still regret that I didn't buy it The 153 looked very much like your stove, but the tank was not nickel plated, and I think there was ? steel plate under the burner, as can be seen on my 155. If it is not a SVEA 153, it must certainly be a close relative
Hi Arne Your Svea\155 looks very much like my Svea 158. Mine is housed in a green military case. Not sure how much they differ. Thought you might like to see some pics.
Hi shagratork. Nice pics. Your Svea 158 is more or less identical to my Svea 154 (left side tank), except for the green military box. I found the 154 and the 155 one year ago, new in their cardboard boxes. The 155 I have fired up and used, but the 154 is still unlit. As I wrote, they can be put together to form a two burner stove, like shown here.
Well, finally my rebuild is complete and I'm glad to say a success. It was a lot more work than intended due to heavy pitting which was then filled with grease and grime. Mine doesn't compare to some of the lovely samples shown above, but I'm still pleased. A big thank you to Bryan aka Kaw550red for sourcing me a replacement outer cap and miscellaneous seals I did not even know I needed until I reassembled it! Thanks Bryan! Shown is the range at low and high flame as well as the finished product. Click to enlarge the pictures... PS I can't seem to get a completely blue flame on any of my kero burners. Is what I see in the pictures typical or am I having a problem?
Shagratork t got one just like yours same name and not as clean as yours now do all the silent burners have inner caps this one don't have one plus two more of my stove missing them is it some do some don't
Robert All of that type burner should have an inner and outer burner cap (spreader/ ring). When fitting the inner be sure you have the opening at the bottom and not the top. Canadian Burner A philips headed bolt . They didn't have these when that stove was made. Nice stove now. Credit to you.
Yep thought so now got get of my butt make me some need three.dam e bay people lie like hell saying i don't see way it wont work cause they have not check with some else plus like me i fall for it should ask to list all the parts first then bid o well live and learn [P. S. you think after 63 years i be smarter 1 year no beer well it do not help i was smarter drinking beer]
Got me! Good eyes! Well these are stainless and the originals were shot. I never thought about the type of head when replacing them. I will try to find the correct ones! Cheers and Happy New Years!
CB Great work. Your stove now looks tremendous! It sounds as if you had a lot of hard work, but it was obviously well worth it. You say Bryan helped you out. Typical, he is a great guy. Oops said my stove is not as shiny as yours - I had better get the stove out! Happy New Year.
Good eyes? They are the best I have ever had, although they are dimming a lot in the last 20 years. If those stainless bolts are doing the job what the heck leave them there. Normal steel will rust again. Brass is good (not original but).
