    Found this in the garage, the control key or shaft is missing.
    * How to repack the gland ? Just add graphite ?
    * How to reshape the bent rim ?
    * Wonder if it will fit into a later model fount ?
    * Any idea what size burner caps to order ?
    Thank you.
    Just wish I had the complete stove....

    There’s a post from some tears ago about reshaping the burner. I’m sure you’ll find it. Or just use parallel jawed spanners and a small peening hammer.

    The packing is graphite.

    The burner caps are normal silent burner dimensions.

    I might have either a Sievert or an Aladdin shaft to fit that burner.

    That burner will fit Swedish and Australian No. 1 and 5 (and other) stoves.

    Cheers

    Tony

    @Tony Press I'll need to buy that control shaft thanks, when you find it.
    I note that it is an on/off/simmer valve, yes ?
    With a built in pricker wire. Clever.
    Pack the nut with graphite ?
    Thanks. Paul.

    As it is a clone of the Radius 10/36 burner - this drawing of the Optimus 207 burner would be correct enough.

    Paul

    I’ve found a generic (unmarked) control wheel and shaft that fits that burner. I’ve also found a shaft only.

    Photos in the morning.

    Cheers
