A regulated Primus came up on the local online auction site. So I brought it. It will remain a patinated shelf queen as it has some obvious damage from underburn or a leaking regulator to the burner.
@gnome Congratulations on scoring a uncommon Primus 14!!!! That makes four in the Reference Gallery. Both of my Primus 14s came from Australia. Maybe they were only exported to the southern hemisphere . Ben
@gnome A great old stove that has tons of history, as this stove has had a hard working life by the amount of wear to the pump tube cap and the solder work on the riser tube. i agree with your obvious points regarding the burner damage caused by under burn or a leaky regulator, another possibility it may have just worn through due to the amount of work this stove has had in its life
@gnome Great find! The pump tube cap, burner damage and tapering of the pot rests tells of a great previous life too… Thanks! Rodger
