Primus-metal cap for my No 4 just ordered from Base Camp - their last one and I've got it - hooray :D/ :D/ But they're busy so won't send it...
Thanks guys, a combination of a call to BaseCamp on Monday and a generous PM I received and the problem of my ill-burning stove is solved. It must...
I’ve recently been working on a nice little 1939 (AD) Primus No 4. As received it was missing both burner caps but otherwise seemed in good...
All my (complete) stoves must work and all but one have been fired. As soon as I get them I fettle them just enough to be able to fire them as...
Neither of my 111s came with the spanner either but one of them had a pricker in the clip so it doesn't look empty - just a bit silly :lol:...
