    I found (and bought) this burner in the net.
    I had a Primus N1 with a non original silent burner that sometimes gave trouble.
    The new one seems to be more reliable and more powerfull.

    Hi @argerich1964gmail.com Sievert/Svea made excellent stoves and blowlamps. Your "new" burner looks to be performing very well and powerfully.

    The markings on the top of the burner show that it must have been made before 1969, when the brand was sold to Optimus. In fact it could be even older as this same lettering was used as early as the 1930/40s if you look at the photos in the Reference Gallery for Svea stoves fitted with roarer burners.

    It is nice to see the wrapping paper as well, although Svea used a three letter code for their spare parts and the correct burner for. No.1 roarer stove would have been an 811.

    Good Luck with your 50+ year old Svea burner.
    Best Regards,
    Kerophile.

    Hi @Spiritburner , Ross have you any idea why the paper wrapper should have the part No. 81 rather than the expected 811?
    Interestingly the flame ring has a three-digit code.
    The text on the wrapper suggests that it might have been intended for the Spanish-speaking markets.

    Best Regards,
    Kerophile.

    Hi George - no, I have no reference to a Svea burner 81. Interesting.

    Hi argerich, thank you for the additional photo! I thought you had discovered a new Svea burner model.

    And they tell me that "the camera never lies"

    The paper is very old and has become brittle.

    Best Regards,
