The Howes & Burley 'Corona Picnic' No.2 in daylight. I'm baffled why somebody would go to the trouble of grinding a face on this nail as a...
Looks grand Scott, smart but not pretending (badly) to be new! Burning beautifully too.
I completely agree that if penetrating oil is going to be used, putting it down the pump tube is illogical- before the fluid could reach the...
Without wanting to appear contentious, how would heating the tool help? By warming the valve body slightly, it will only expand and tighten into...
:shock: It might have a messy filler cap repair, a chewed up air release screw and a missing leg replaced by a nail which is far too short to be...
Yes, my post regards blocked burners was in response to the question posed in post #1, which asked if the burners could be blocked. Indeed they...
A lot of these furnaces lived a hard working life, so there is a possibility the burners may be fairly clogged with carbon deposits. Try...

Consider too that Asian 'stainless' can vary massively in quality. You're on the right lines with ceramic materials- any design of stove which...
Great write-up of a pleasingly designed kettle John, the variety and innovations seen in vessels for the sole purpose of boiling water makes for a...
Looks a completely different design with steel pump rod... mind you I have no idea whether mine is original or not!
One of my regular kitchen users is this stove, formerly owned by @igh371. I'd say the left hand leg is original, the cut out at the bottom is...
