    ...I'd be interested in finding out why the burner is sticking up so far. Wrong bell, wrong or homemade generator?

    @Billofthenorth , it almost looks like someone put a 520 valve on the M1950 stove.

    This is a better view from the side.

    Have a close look at the screws used to bolt things together..... Clearly someone cobbled things together just to be able to sell the stove. I bet the seller states he didn't "test for functionality" or some such. If he did he's a f°cking big liar......

    I agree, wrong burner. A total Frankenstove.

    It's too expensive by my estimation, otherwise it might be a good candidate for fixing up. But, yeah, a frankenstove, someone's attempt to make something functional without spending any money perhaps.
