Thank you @snwcmpr. One last drink before bedtime while it's lit! [ATTACH]
@junior trangia master made me remove this Thermidor from our light up at Newark as the worn vaporiser orifice was causing some embarrassing...
Beautiful old thing, and the cast iron top ring is fabulous!
Yes reliability is key. It's amazing really how cork often can be revived and reused on a stove where all the rubber seals hardened decades ago. A...
Commiseration @Sizzler670- Viton does the job perfectly but it's always depressing when the original cork can't be salvaged. Well, I think so!
The cork is very likely the original, give it a soak in oil and there is a good chance you'll get a few more decades service from it. If it...
That's done some service, if the pump tube end cap wear is anything to go by!
Great work, it's burning beautifully in spite of the protrusion.
Very well preserved, have you tried to run it, in theory it would burn rich as the vaporiser is protruding too high into the bell?
Thanks @mr optimus, I hope some more come to light in future.
I've got to milk this one for all it's worth... It's going to be hard for me to better this contribution to the thread. Rescued from a recycling...
No, in this case it we're not fixing things that don't need fixing for a dopamine release, we're fixing things which do need fixing due to the...
What would that prove though? That the pump valve seal hasn't failed yet but is going to in the near future at an unexpected time? That if you...
Thanks for your interest and observations @Rodger Willows, @Stanisław Grajewski and @Jack Tar. What is interesting about your example @z1ulike is...
If you intend to put a volatile liquid in a pressure vessel next to a source of ignition, please replace the consumable, time-expiring service...
Thanks @Rangie- it didn't take much to get running, the original cork pump valve seal was fine so just a new leather and an o-ring for the filler cap.
Thanks for adding that John- it seems there are potentially 5 different places to find a date stamp on a steel Primus. These removable leg stoves...
Pleased to introduce a real live No.400 to the reference gallery! Not mine but overhauled for the owner who is happy for it to be added here. Not...
This old girl is up and running again. Incorrect legs, and top ring is wrong brand but correct pattern! I know where to find the date stamp- foot...
The shooting star trademark feels very appropriate for this Radius No.6, the Kelite behind is kicking the heat out too. [ATTACH]
