I’m 99.9% certain this one does - it has the washer shaped recess and the washers fit perfectly - I’m going to assume that that’s the case. Will...
Weirdly enough it came with no burner washers fitted at all - and that included the lead one around the NRV. I did make sure there was no trace of...
Thanks @Tony Press I’ll try that. I always put one washer above and below just in case as I thought that was best practice. To clarify, the ‘blow’...
Afternoon… So, I was lucky enough to eyeball this going for £10 on a certain sale app and grabbed it with both hands. Missing its ring at the top...
It does look like a Burmos with that squared off edge to the fount but that’s an odd filler / release valve with the screw slot on the end....
That’s the kind of thing I was thinking of … I did have a hunt for Progress in the list but couldn’t see it. Thanks both! C
Hi all, Saw this for sale on a UK sale site and was intrigued. Not available to me sadly as it’s in Croydon and I’m in Yorkshire and they won’t...
Thank you all… I did give it a go yesterday by securing the nut at the base in a vise then preheating as normal using meths. Alas no joy. I...
Thank you @presscall I think I’ve found a .23 one … interestingly post cleaning of gauze and repacking the flame looks like this… it’s certainly...
Update… solder plug removed and air release works just fine!
And thank you all - sage advice! C
Gauze duly removed and more penetrating fluid sprayed down the lipstick / bell join from below. Daft question I’m sure but in terms of pricker...
Thank you. It boiled its first kettle this morning! As an amusing aside I had merry hell getting the NRV out - the tool just wouldn’t go on. Much...
I picked up an Optimus 96 pretty cheaply and am looking forwards to getting it going properly but a couple of things … Firstly, the lipstick and...
If I can add a small contribution here with this Valor 55 that should really be listed as crusty but running. The tank is covered in what looks...
@kerophile apologies… it does seem to be slightly recessed. Better picture here for you… I was using your air screw system to date it. So maybe...
Thank you @kerophile … the tube seems to be mounted flush. The Pr 5 has no date stamp on the base that I can see - there’s only the 20 03 58 on...
Agreed… the Primus really does need a good going over. There’s patina and there’s sitting in a barn for God knows how long and being covered in...
They are … it’s just a question now of what to do with the Primus 5. Leave it as rusty but running (it’s boiling its first kettle as I write this)...
And finally… [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
