I picked this up @ a local antique store. I changed out the fuel and fired it right up. I was looking on it though and there is no name on the kit anyone maybe recognise it???
Hey, Wade, Nice score, Lad!! I've seen one other of those setups, with the wire holding down the SVEA. Can't recall the maker, but it might have been, and your's might be, an Optimus 88N. I have two of those, one of which I got new in the box, and it's still a Virgin. However, I can't GET to it, right now! The "Stove Room" is so packed with crappola, that I can't get close enough to pluck that 88 off the shelf, and look at the directions so see how it was shown on paper. In any case, you scored a nice little bit of kit! I see the cook pots come up on Ebay fairly regularly, without the windscreen setup, which is what you already have! So, I'll bet you can fill out your kit, with just a little bit of looking around. Take care, and God Bless! Every Good Wish, Doc
Back in the 60's and 70's there was a Korean semi clone of the Sigg Tourist in stores around here. If memory serves, it had a bail kinda like that instead of the bent squashers riveted to the bottom of the windscreen a la Sigg. As I already owned "the real thing," I wasn't in the market. Gerry
Origianl optimus 88n I had did have the wire retainer on it. The base will fit into varoius metho storm cooker pots ATB Barra
It looks like a 123R with the straight out valve & modern key so this will likely be an Optimus 88 outfit or a clone. If you had the lid/frypan it would confirm it. If it had been the angled down valve it may have been the earlier 123K outfit.
Thanks everyone. I am fairly excited about owning it. I think I will try to look for the Pot set for it. If anyone runs across one in cyber space please let me know. I think it is really hard to beat a SVEA 123R.
I don't think it's Sigg clone - Sigg is bigger (I have 2 Sigg's) Look at this "Barrabruce" thread: https://classiccampstoves.com/threads/7325 It look's like my Optimus 124 (Made in Sweeden)
