    Received a Roksvea several days ago and tore her apart for a minor Svealeaning of the jets and so on. Leather pump cup was dried out and had a chunk missing. I soaked it in oil until my new cups arrive. It did soften the leather up but does not provide sufficient pressure.

    The base looks like it was brass plated. Is this correct? Otherwise I will not bother trying to polish it as this is my "breaking into it" project.

    Tin is decent with readable instructions on the underside of the lid, 3 prickers and paper instructions. No flame ring but everything else. Attempted to fire her up at 3:30am EST (yeah I thinks me has a stove addiction!) and I have posted the results!

    Is there a "Stove Collector Anonymous" forum?

    Interesting.

    ROK Svea? So this is a Korean model?
