This is my Svea 123

Love the svea have used it numerous times for small batch coffee when doing scout stuff…

 

The 123 is perfectly suited for small quantities.

 

@Tony Press , I have not seen a needle, I do not understand about the pricker rack and needle???

 

@John P. Jordan

Can you take a photo of the stove with the cage off that shows the control spindle from the front and side, please.

I’m working off my phone so clarity of images is not that great.

Cheers

Tony

 

Tony is right, it is 123R. It has a cleaning needle built in.

@John P. Jordan

Thanks. This is a Svea 123R as it has the pricker rack/needle control mechanism. It is still stamped only Svea123.

The 123R came after and replaced the original Svea123: SVEA 123


Cheers

Tony

 

@Tony Press , so looking at the positioning of the valves, the 123R has a valve body with the valve control cast at a 90 degree angle to the vertical body, and the 123 has an angle of about 60 degrees to the main body. Would this be correct?

 

That is correct, John.

And here are the differences in components:

Svea 123 Disassembly

and

SVEA 123R Disassembly

So many stoves.
So little time.
