Need to pick your more experienced brains. Recently acquired an Optimus 8. Stripped the PRV to service it. The spring was compressed into solid...
Probably would I got a lot of it on my hands and it came off with soap and water. I'll finish cleaning it tomorrow.
Exactly. I like the age, dings and patina. It is part of the history of the stove . The "fuel" that was in the tank now reminds me more of white...
The windshield is caked in the silver paint. It is just a silver spray paint, not cured and comes off. In fact it comes off on everything. The...
Well, I must have got some of the tank fuel on the tank when emptying it. It stripped the paint. Luckily I had kept the fuel in a sigg bottle so a...
Thanks. The paint comes off on my hand and when wiped. I'd have preferred if it had been sent without the paint job. As for the fuel. That smelled...
Cheers. I have already looked into it. The only thing I need is the soda. I have everything else to hand. Will do it outside.
Sounds like a plan. Haven't done any electrolysis since school over 40 years ago but I will give it a shot.
Just received a Juwel 34 today. It had a paint job before posting which is not ideal. The silver paint comes off when handling and is on the cap...
It's no big deal. No apologies needed. I think they had adapted the stamp to make a 9 from an 8. Wouldn't be the first time I've seen it done in...
No problem. I've never had it happen to me but I keep care of my gear. It was at Culsharg in Galloway in the mid eighties. I was pitched up as it...
Wasn't my stove or my companion. It was a lot more than a small jet. I was outside and it was a fireball. I just assumed it was the prv. A lot of...
I'll second this. My PT-1 also has a leaflet printed in 92 and a factory stamp of April 93. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
The pamphlet I have also has that date on the last page. I will stick with the April 93 date for this stove. I doubt that a stove dated 83 would...
I was also under the impression production ended before 93. However there seem to be other posts also showing the date of 93. If it is 83, it is...
Exactly. Always good advice to treat anything that can go bang with care. I have seen a flaming svea being kicked out of a bothy when the prv...
So far the issues have been cosmetic. I'll fire it up tomorrow. My Soviet born wife has told me to use it outside :) She doesn,t trust it. I dont...
My Optimus climber, bought in 1985. Went walkabout in an international house move 17 years ago. An optimus rider also went at the same time.
The seal seems to be in good nick and I am going to fire it up and probably use this for overnight camping trips. It should be used rather than...
I picked up this Primus Tourist PT1 in an unopened box. Maybe one of the last batches from a rather turbulent period. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
