    5FE9E987-6572-4D09-B147-8AA93A5C4F0A.jpeg Hello there... I have recently acquired an older Phoebus 625. The teeth on the spindle as well as the teeth on the needle rack are badly worn. Can anyone point me to a spare parts supplier for these items, secondly would someone have spares they would be willing to part with, thirdly can a spindle / needle from another stove, perhaps Optimus 8R be modified to work ?

    Thanks all for your help !

    Stove should work without the cleaning needle.

    You'd be right if this was an 8R or a 111 Duane, but the Phoebus relies on the cone of the pricker holder to regulate and shut off the fuel.

    Good luck then, I've had next to zero results finding parts or stoves from members here, best source is off of the bay.
