    Trying to find some accessories for my Hipolito Fogao N:0, I found this amazing forum.
    I have just become a member.
    having seen what Twoberth is showing here, I felt ashame of myelf, neglecting my device for more than three decades.
    It is not for show, despite that I will try to upload a picture that I made 5 minutes ago.

    We forgive your abject neglect, Brother.
    Welcome to CCS.
    Happens to us all, I think. I pulled my [1970] Svea 123 out of a storage shed that was supposed to be temporary. It sat almost 20 years before I rescued it. The shed leaked. I live in the Arizona Desert where rain is rare, but welcome when it does come. But it's usually a flash flood.
    Also the situation was complicated by a forgotton plastic jug of pool chemicals on the shelf above. Bromides, I think. The plastic deteriorated, and when rain came, it dissolved and dripped on the aluminum cup atop my trusty 123. The adjacent GSI 4 shot espresso maker, I used to use on it was not so lucky. It was burned thru. And a stainless steel replacement is no longer available. But the Svea 123's cup got off with only a battle scar.
    Oddly, the fuel tank of my Svea was still half full. I primed it and it lit off right, and burned a beautiful blue flower.
