    Good Morning All,
    I am in the process of cleaning up my 1936 No 5 so I can display it it. What it the best way to clean up the burner assembly? As you know that when you use these stoves, everything from the spirit cup up darkens considerably. Is it possible to clean the burner so it looks almost new or is best to leave it as it is? My wife saw my new Meva no1 and commented how nice the copper colored riser tubes looked and asked if I could do the same with the Primus. Thanks :?: :-({|=
