    Hello everybody,

    First: I don't know when the lay out changed, but :thumbup:

    on to the next.
    I've a Phoebus no. 30 tank. (stamped N6 on the bottom)

    the tank has, the pump and the NRV.

    but I lack:
    -the burner
    -filler cap with de-æration valve
    -travelling cap (to replace the burner)
    -pot support legs.

    for the burner, I can place a optimus-primus burner in stead, as I have that one laying around, although it would be sweet to have a phoebus burner

    But does anyone know, where I could find/buy the other parts?

    thanks!

    Hi Bart, Let us see if I can help.
    I believe that Base Camp has legs can be easily modified to fit your Phoebus No.30:

    P4561 Set of three legs, Primus 210, pre 1962 £ 8.30

    Ebay seller Juliands has:

    PRIMUS STOVE RESERVE CAP OPTIMUS RESERVE CAP £4.25

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PRIMUS-ST...P-KEROSENE-STOVE-PARAFFIN-STOVE-/121710081141

    This reserve cap should fit the threaded upstand on the tank, but unfortunately will not be suitable for the "parking position" on the leg of a Phoebus No.30

    He also offers:

    PRIMUS STOVE FILLER CAP OPTIMUS STOVE £5.95

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PRIMUS-ST...VE-KEROSENE-STOVE-CAMPING-STOVE-/111721220697

    Hope this helps.

    Best Regards
    Kerophile.

    Thank you, kerophine,
    I also got a reply (via other channels) of a collector in the Netherlands, he (or she idk) is going trough their collection to see if they have Phoebus parts. so awaiting their message, and then might order the parts you gave the links too.

    I got succes :)
    a collector who lives (relatively) close to me, had a few Phoebus parts,
    legs and caps.

    I use an optimus-primus burner which was somehow extra in this house.

    its working now :D
