This was a bargain price, looks to have had the base replaced and a different flame plate. Maybe. All yellow pump. I believe I read that the later ones had longer pot supports. These don’t look homemade. First one I have seen. Duane
Re "Later MSR model 9?" at this moment i dunno re later. we agree it's not early /earliest one. but i did notice it has this bracket (fuel line goes thru a bracket that is riveted to the burner housing) yes? it has 9 burner body w/brkt., 4 cutouts... yes? at some point we might give examples like this a narrow year range. Smiles69 example here like yours but still has early-shorter pot supports *yours above -and- steve1000 's MSR #9 - 1974 -and- anfeng's MSR Model 9~9A (his "#2" in pic) ^^^ these 3 also longer pot supports, the 3 look to be a match or near to. do we call them late No.9 w/brkt.? i dunno (gotta run)
Duane, thx for reply. the "all yellow" pump is another detail, good point (you DO fill-in key details for the site, TY). to readers that might not be familiar MSR offered 3 versions of the yellow pump. 1st version is the "all-yellow" 2nd version is yellow pump w/pins 3rd version yellow pump is [hmmm . the whadda-ya-callit]? to your point, re my: "at some point we might give examples like this a narrow year range. Smiles69 example here like yours but still has early-shorter pot supports *yours above -and- steve1000 's MSR #9 - 1974 -and- anfeng's MSR Model 9~9A (his "#2" in pic) ^^^ these 3 also longer pot supports, the 3 look to be a match or near to. do we call them late No.9 w/brkt.?" all 4 are: late No.9 w/brkt -and- all 4 have their original "all-yellow" pump . "at some point we might give examples like... [these four -AND- the "all-yellow" pump] ...a narrow year range." year range for the all-yellow pump continues after these late No.9 s, nonetheless this DOES narrow the year range for the all-yellow pump. thx again
I matched up another all yellow pump from my stash to go with one of my 9A’s. Both pumps work after working on the latest one. Never can recall all the changes to the MSR stoves, so saw I had a second 9A with correct features from the SRG. A blue and a silver one. Duane
