I have had middling luck with various solvents, hot soapy water etc. I haven't tried xylene though, I'll be interested in how it goes. I...
The Muka is featured in REI's dividend flyer, which I just received. I really like the Muka's looks. It's a clean, minimalist design and at 15k+...
This 111B came to me already repainted over the rust. I used electrolysis to remove the old paint and rust. Since I had no original color to go...

Knight84, that is a great collection. The heater looks awesome. Here is the 576 with two rough contemporaries. [ATTACH] The 576 in the...
About the only part you'd need to replace on the 576, other than the dead-standard fuel cap and pump cup, is the generator. Right now Coleman...
Well, I got mine cleaned and fired it up on kerosene. Beautiful blue flames, nearly silent. Opened all the way to clean the jet, and the valve...

Thank you, Mike. Amazon has it, I've ordered a can. Do you work by hand or with a buffing wheel? I polished a 502 support ring with Mother's by...

Early users said the tabs of the eBay copy sometimes sheared off when attempting to remove a check valve, but all indications are that the...
Rugburn63, that is in really great shape. It looks unused. I just de-rusted and rebuilt a much hoarier example. Here are the before pics....
