    Hi @Yeison I think not.

    From this thread:

    Perhaps @Tony Press could comment.

    Best Regards

    I’ve not worked on a PT1, I’m afraid.

    I say: Yes and NOT... mostly not.
    from years - i have seen only two spare sets - i have one of this...
    typical solving is buying next stove
    its generate costs.

    Last time I bought some spares for the PT - The seller had the cleaning needle in stock. When looking now as @gieorgijewski writes, you can get the jet and other parts, but no pricker.
    I guess its a question of demand.
    Will keep an eye out.
    (Have asked one of the sellers (“sellsoviet”) - lets see what he answers

    Does your stove run well without the pricker? You can use an external pricker if so.

    ¿Tu estufa funciona bien sin el pinchazo? Puedes usar un punzón externo si es así.

    From My perspective - all parts are aviable - but from dismounted stoves -

    then - is strategic/logistic problem for calculate costs
    old stove or new stove
    if new - maybe is better buy new one
    e.t.c....

    If I always translate the texts when I paste them, they are again in my language, I will take it into account. Thank you

    Reply from the seller “sellsoviet” on Ebay regarding if he had a jet pricker needle for the PT-1, his answer was: “Sadly not”

    Hi @Yeison you have been given good advice by @snwcmpr .

    1. You say that you have lost the built-in cleaning needle.

    2. Replace the jet.

    3. Check that your stove shuts off and can operate properly.

    4. Use a normal external cleaning needle to clean the jet aperture, when needed.

    5. You should now have a fully working stove.

    6. Check ebay regularly to see if a replacement PT1 cleaning needles become available again.

    Good Luck.

    Best Regards,
    Kerophile.
