@Remus1956 as mentioned by @presscall , MAPP is what you need for silver soldering(brazing).
It looks like the spring in the nrv might be to tight. I serviced the nrv of a British no 12 and I couldn't pump it up either. I had to fiddle...
A few important things when you (silver) solder: make sure you have the correct heat and use the right type flux. But most of all: clean, clean!
Very nice stoves! I like the flame pattern and the silence of the stove. Rust is probably its biggest enemy, since the rest is as simple as it can...
Very interesting to learn that brass and aluminium will work on a classic disc stove. The idea that the better heat conductence of brass and...
@Blackdog I did not know that, thanks for pointing that out. I would not have trusted brass or aluminium legs, but my fear was wrong. I stand...
To be honest, I don't think brass(messing) is a good material for pot legs. Brass is far weaker then iron or steel and is less heat resistant. The...
A beautiful stove indeed! Love the flame pattern, very unique due to it's different design.
As our British friends so nicely put it, it was raining cats and dogs, but I still wanted to put my primus 56 to good use baking some Dutch...
I love your setup! The 200 remains an iconic lantern!
Good to hear it all worked out in the end! To have one of these on hand is a good thing I guess. Things get thrown away far to quickly for my...
Yeah, I've seen my fair share of electrified lanterns and stoves turned into lanterns! It is a shame to see these kind of monstrosities. But...
I have a model 145 myself, but it does not say where it is manufactured. I have to dig some more, but I remember a conversation I once had with...
I'd love to meat up as well, but it's a bit out of my neck of the woods ;) A good NZ-lamb roast is delicious as well :thumbup:
The infamous 'wasbenzine' will do nicely to clean your stoves. 'Dreft' will work for the milder stains and dirt.
Wow, congratulations on your find! You don't see them like that very often!
If I'd make/get a butane/propane conversion I would seriously pressure test the adaptor and line setup. That's why I like liquid stoves. If it...
That looks very good indeed! As for your 'self criticism', don't be to hard on yourself. The windshield looks professional made. I would use it...
Beautiful set indeed! I would love to have such a device for one of my brassies. Have fun with yours!
@Sprocket that is a nice looking stove. Welcome in the club 'Those who stare at flames' 8] And after this you discover that the Optimus 8r has a...
