    Here is my stove obtained earlier this year. Pump cup, nrv pip, filler cap seal and a jet was needed to get it working. The flame rings also needed minor reshaping. Flame shot before and after the jet replacement.

    Campingo is a Classic camp stove from the 30:s and I like it very much. Simple in design and reliable. The case looks a bit worned and shows some rust. Are you going to keep it this way or are you planning a refurbishment?

    There's still life left in the old girl. Good to see her up and running.

    That is an absolute classic! Built to last for generations. I love the elegant simplicity of the engineering.
