@presscall is the yellow flame normal for these stoves? I'm more familiar with closed top Aladdin heaters with a blue flame. Regards John
@Tony Press @Blackdog The spindle thread looks like a double or even triple helix to my eyes. Effectively meaning 2 or 3 times more lateral...
Since when did this forum become a primer for those wanting to read "classics" at Oxford? Regards John
It did look like the key was jumping around but I couldn't tell if it was cause or effect. That said, all of @snwcmpr 's suggestions make sense....
the differently shaped pot supports? or the questionably placed apostrophe? Campers' would be ok for a group, but these coil burners are not...
That would be the idea, yes. Your burner has a small loop to the right of the flame ring in your pictures that is normally supposed to make sure...
yep Cheers Alec, it's there in spades (not trowels) Regards John
does "patina" cover that?
@Rangie Since you know that the trowelled on solder on the pump tube is up to the job you can be more confident that the stuff around the riser...
@E.B. Do you find that it makes any real difference to the start up time? Mine has the later key type control (similar to a 123R) so it would...

Interesting that all six burners have similar amounts of yellowing in the flames. Not something I would expect if there was a problem with one or...
@Tim Read Preheating is supposed to get all of the tubes and cross passages at the top of the burner warm enough to vaporize the paraffin. The...
@Knee I also thought of a later model of RM but the steel pot supports and brass pump knob made me a bit doubtful. All of the RM pumps that...
@Oldhenry1 given that it is a 111B you should also consider if the pip in the safety valve built into the filler cap along with the filler cap...
@IRM some people get extremely precious about making any changes to the original design. In this case it doesn't matter unless you're planning...
If your stoves are not shelf queens, I would be tempted to cold rivet them in place. You'd need a 3 mm / 1/8" drill to make a hole through the...
@Tez I did have problems with mine on a particularly windy day when I ventured over to the Wirral for a spot of beach-casting one time. Similar...
