    I need a control/valve key for a Primus #71 stove. Any idea where I can get one?

    You could find the right sized clock key on eBay or elsewhere and use that if you can't find an original...

    You can make one if you have some small brass or copper tubing.Grind a finishing nail to the correct size square then tap it into the pipe to form a square.Bend the other end for the turn end.
    Most clock keys are a bit too large but some do fit.You could shim it to fit.

    Thank you loco7stove! After I figured out I wasn't going to find a original key, my next question was exactly were you led me. You must be a mind reader. Thanks again, I'm, ordering a 2.75mm key today. Great links BTW!!
