Optimus 99

Just acquired. Optimus 99. Pot handle is a repro. I haven't fired it up yet.

 

Very nice!

 

@oldfox66 Thanks. I like it as well. Nice and compact.

 

Very nice find!

I paired mine with a BD mini-cap and used it in many vacations. It has made me many litres of coffee

 

I have a BD silent damper for an 8/svea. It will probably fit the 99. Might give it a try once I have checked the seals.

 

Yes that definitely fits the 99. I know because I have the 8r and 123(r) as well

 

Thanks. I will give it a shot though I do prefer the undampened sound.

 

Looks like she's in pretty good shape, congrats. Nice little stoves.

 

@The Warrior Yeah, she is one of my favourites.

 

The 99 was my 1st stove. My fil gifted it to me, like new in box.



Then I later found one at a local antique store for $35. Lucked out on both.

 

Very nice. Boxed as well. You certainly lucked out with those.

 

Yep:

 

Nice day here so I took it out and fired it up. Works well.

 

A few flame shots from the 99 on the work table.
