    hi I just wanted to introduce myself. my name is terry murphy married with children love vintage items and tinkering in my shop also known as my garage. I have just bought an enders and a optimus stove. optimus arrived in working condition bonus the enders is still in route but I have been reading about them here at ccs and have come to the conclusion that I will need to replace most if not all the seals etc. have seen here that some of the members sell this so hopefully it won't be to difficult to get. it's a 9060 with 4 pot holder legs any and all help/advice is greatly appreciated. oh also does anyone know where I can get multi tool and pricker or at less size of wire needed to clean jet thanks and have a great day/evening d
    epending on where in the world you are

    Welcome Terry. I've been told you can get pricker wire where musical instruments like guitars are sold. The Enders may need O-ring, pip, seals replaced, check the stove out when received. German and Russian stoves have different sized parts than Swedish stoves. My Enders once rehabed, work great.

    I have found that more patience is required when fettling an Enders stove. But, not nearly as much as when fettling a Petromax lantern.

    I'ii try to add photos later. I'm just on way to work. Problem is the tube is silver soldered in place with a nut at bottom I'm assuming that has pip on other side, thanks.
