Optimus 45- Like New.

Hello everyone,
I bought my Optimus 45 like it was new.
As soon as I first lit it up, I noticed it was missing a seal,
which must have caused a flare, causing the owner to not use it again.
Here are some pics:

Great stove Archie!
Fantastic condition with all the bits and a new looking tin.
What more could you want?
Have fun with it?
Cheers Nick

 

Certainly.
Archie.

 

A very nice 45, Archie.
It looks like the white polystyrene is whole and in good condition, which is good because it often does not survive.

 

Wow! I need one of those!

Lovely acquisition

Hi Archie, what a wonderful stove outfit you now have! This is one of my all time favourite stoves. It is powerful, controllable and portable. It is also beautiful.
Good Luck with it.
Best Regards,
Kerophile.

 

Hi Archie,
Nice stove... look after it.

How much fuel did you burn through your trangia during the summer holidays last year?
.....Double It!
good job paraffin is cheaper than meths!

best regards
John
