Here is a magnificent Radius 43B found in Portugal. The stove appears to have been little used and is dated according to the notice of May 31, 1961. I changed the gasket washer and oiled the leather cup. I think it works correctly.
My apologies the paint on the case looks so fresh and bright, even though the stove is in mint condition the paint looks so good, my mistake
I was only familiar with the type of 43B where the explosion-proof valve is directly attached to the tank. Your 43B, like other Radius products, has the explosion-proof valve attached to the cap. Therefore, it seems that the tank shape is different from other 43 models to prevent the cap from interfering with the case. I learned a lot from this.
@Camp numao yes I see what you mean. This particular Radius 43 with this big SRV seems rarer than the one you describe. The problem with this srv is that sometimes the lettle brass sheet inside the srv is cracked. It is not the case with mine hopefully .
Yes, it should be included. You can easily create a replacement part by cutting out a 0.1mm brass plate with scissors and drilling a hole in the center. Then, you can repair it by fitting it back into its original place and lightly pressing the surface with the mating part to secure it. Ideally, it would be best if it were usable without having to do all that. Anyway, thank you for introducing this rare 43B.
@Camp numao Thank you. You don’t think it is important to make the other holes around the center one ?
As you know, the brass plate doesn't need the holes around the edge. Of course, I believe all the holes are necessary for the rubber part.
