    @Blackdog

    Great setting to be testing your resurrected stove in!

    Thanks for the images…

    Tank got overheated from using too large a kettle and the solder seam melted (cue fireball). I carefully repaired the tank seam, primer valve solder was also leaking and the tank hooks melted off during repairs but used a micro blowtorch and a wet rag over the other soldered bits to pop them back on. Runs really well but could use a tart up.

    You’ve certainly got a good flame happening there!

    A great sense of satisfaction after all your fettling exploits?!!!

    That’s an uncommon stove, @Kiwi cooker.

    There’s only one in the Reference Gallery, so when you’re ready it would be good to see it there.


    Cheers

    Hi Tony

    I will give it a crack. Do I add to the existing thread? Looks like the earlier ones didn’t have the priming burner.

    Cheers

    It is requested that each example is put into a new thread:

    Maker; model; year… in title.

    And then as much detail of the stove as is feasible.

    Thank you for doing this.
