    Hello. I have a radius No. 21, and I had a visit from someone who was very interested in my collection. I don't know the person, but when he drove away from here I was missing a Radius cleaning needle like the one in the picture. If anyone has one for sale, I am interested in buying.

    Unfortunately, there are some people you can't trust.

    Good Morning, Tom,

    What a raw deal! You invite an interested party to enjoy your collection, and he "admires" it too much, and helps himself to the cleaning needle. Might be worth sharing his name here, to others will not fall prey to his thieving.

    Back in 2018, I lucked into winning an Emperor stove on the bay of evil. The original burner had been replaced by one from Radius. It came with what I presume was it's original cleaning pins, as well as a packet of Radius cleaning pins. On the packet it says that the needles work with a Radius 21. If you would like one, I will be happy to send it your way, my friend! In the attached photo, you will see three Radius cleaning needles at the bottom of the line of cleaning needles. Let me know if this will work for you, and if so, I'll pack it up and send it your way.

    You will see that all of the cleaning needles have a little rust on them, but it's not bad. Let me know if you want one, and resend your Postal address to me via a PM, and I'll find the stove, and send you the needle. You were very kind in selling me one of your two Perfektus #10, and I'm happy to help in this small way. You may remember, that the stove you sent me was enjoyed on our Christmas of 2020.

    Hope to hear from you soon, and I'm very sorry that your trust was violated by the cleaning needle thief. Talk soon, and God Bless!

    Every Good Wish,
    Doc
