I got a campus3, so I repaired only the parts that were bothering me. There was something carved into the bottom of the cup that looked like the name of a previous owner. It could be scraped off, but I thought it was part of the stove's history, so I left it as it was. When I first bought it, the cup had many dents and was in a sorry state. So I asked my father, who is a furniture maker, to make a repair jig. The jig my father came up with was designed to use screws as wedges. ・The more the screws are tightened, the more the dents are pushed back from the inside of the cup. ・When removing, the jig can be easily removed by removing the screws. With thanks to my father, I was able to repair the cup. The handle that would hold the cup in place was missing, so I made one myself out of galvanized steel sheet. I used steel plate to prevent the handle from getting hot and to give it strength. Because it is not stainless steel, it was easy to make by cutting it out with a jigsaw, setting it in a vise and bending it. I needed to drill a hole to serve as the starting point for the jigsaw blade, but I didn't have a small drill, so the hole ended up being a little large. If you have a small drill, I think it will look better if you use it. I attached the magnets to the plicker using glue. The tip of the safety valve was stuck. Luckily I was able to remove it with pliers after soaking it in lubricant for a few days. The deployable legs had become loose due to wear. I removed the legs, applied solder to the shafts, and ground them down until they fit into the holes, which solved the problem. When I made my own handle, I was impressed by the structure of the Campus 3 handle. I would like to commend the engineers at Max Sievert for their idea. So I made a part with the same structure for the SVEA 123. I only have a punch for cursive writing, so the engraving part is a little bit uncool, but I am satisfied with the functionality. I hope this will be helpful to someone. Thank you for reading until the end.
@Tony Press @Nicola Francesco Elia Thank you. It's been raining a lot in Japan, but I think I'll take it outside when the weather clears up.
@Camp numao Very well done - and also Kudos to your father for his skilled work. Its hard to beat professionals!
Amazing work. I have only ever used a loose hammer haft on a stout wood table driven by a ball peen hammer to flatten the dents in a few camp cups puts and canteens. Medieval now seem my methods...
@SveaSizzler Whatever the method, as long as it fixes the dent, it's a success. Thanks for sharing your repair method
Such an amazing restoration! Such a beautiful and rare stove. Absolutely love the small form factor. Can you perchance weigh the stove and compare it to the 123?
@DirtWhiskey @gnome Hello. Thank you for your message. I'm glad to interact with you all. Both are full of fuel. They are similar weights.
