Hard to say what kind of packing is in there. Old Coleman Parts has some ribbon packing, and several sizes of preformed packing, appears to be...
What a neat old stove. Can you show where it leaks? Point a pencil at it or something. I see a drip of fuel? Is that at one of the auxiliary...
Pictures? Help us help you.
Not having worked on that particular tank, I can assure you that heat would make a huge difference. Clean out tank, or just put cap on. Heat is...
Can't wait to see! Is yours kinda like this Coleman I'm working on? [IMG]

Not close by... :) Looking forward to more pictures of progress, and sending a PM
Beautiful old stove! Would appear to be a Prentiss Wabers re-badged for Sears. I would just scrub with soap and waters and a abrasive dish pad....
I made one out of some little tin unit much like you have shown above. Was not made to the OE dimensions. Now I'm wondering where my Taykit...
