Thanks, Dave! Here's a couple of views of mine, showing the back end, which based on your pics appears like the one the left. Appreciate it!...
Here are a couple of images from my Borde. The first one shows the crossbow, which I gather guess means that this is an earlier one (Borde-made...
I've been watching what Borde stoves have been selling for of late, and am amazed that they are regularly over $300 USD - one on fleabay closed at...
Naphtha is really a range of liquid hydrcarbon mixtures, from heavy to light. I don't want to say that it's a jargon term, but it doesn't apply...
Probably won't work in a 71/80 or similar stove, but might be OK in a “regular” Primus – going by the EC number (which is the same as the CAS...
Nicely done! Looks like you did a great job cleaning up the outer body. What did you do to achieve that? I have a similarly-colored G that could...
Here's the math: [My REI dividend] + [the 20% REI member discount at this time of year] + [free shipping] = 1 free MSR pump delivered to my...
Just out of pure curiousity, I went looking through some old mags to see what other early pics of the Whisperlite I could dig up. Here's another...
Great read - thx!
Yes, itchy, I do think you remember correctly (or, at least, our memories are equally hazy...). In '79 I was bumming around the provinces and...
Well, duh! (sound of hand smacking forehead!) Here I was paying attention to the small details...but apparently neither was MSR. Here's an ad...
This is a short article from the November 1984 issue of Backpacker magazine on the introduction of the Whisperlite. Interesting read on the...
Revisiting the topic of the early MSRs - how were the jets marked on these early G and MF models? Thx!
Thanks, Doc - very interesting! Sadly, the pump is most definitely not original (gray and black). So if the only difference between the 9 and 9A...
So a 9A has a scalloped burner bell like the 9?
Yeah, I'm thinking it's a G too - at least that's what I initially thought it was when I first got it. What got me to thinking was that if MF's...
Here's some pics - having trouble with my camera, so this is it for the moment! [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
So just what is the difference between a Model 9A and a Model G? I've recently acquired what I assumed is an early Model G. But, when I compare...
Here are the instructions that came with this stove. Though these aren't the greatest quality, I'll also post these in the reference section...
Thanks for all the replies. I'm still not sure what the difference is between a 9A and a G, though, and now I'm really curious about that! FWIW,...
