One thing I would like to have for my 99 is a red control knob instead of the key. I don't see them often on ebay. Does anyone know if they will...
I just checked the sold items on ebay and the prices seem comparable between the two models, but it still seems that you can get a really nice 99...
This has always puzzled me. Judging by the prices on ebay, the 8R seems to be much more in demand, and much more expensive, than the 99s. I don't...
I've been using Permatex anti-seize on all my reassemblies. This is the grey colored stuff but the tube says it's suitable for -65 F to 2000 F...
Thanks, Doc. I agree that it looks like it should go another turn. I'm just paranoid because it burns perfectly and after I bent that last burner...
The second photo shows my 123 that runs beautifully. I never removed the burner on this one. The first photo is a 123 that I am preparing to...
A 111t is high on my list of stoves to acquire but they tend to go for pretty big bucks on ebay and I haven't found one in the wild yet. Bummer!
Doc, I have a pump cap on my 99 but I've yet to acquire a pump. Maybe one of these days.... Do you think I'm correct dating this stove to 1970?

I have none of the mentioned lettering, no rings on vaporizer and this key. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I've read most of the historical stuff but am still a bit confused on what is what. I think this is an Optimus, judging by the key and fuel cap....
I finally found the proper replacement burner for the one I botched and got this 123 running again. This is my first 123 and I like it more than...
Cool idea. I just painted mine with flame proof paint and I'm very happy with the results. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Doc, if you decide to sell, let me know!
There is a seller on ebay selling what they claim to be NOS instructions for the 96. I wonder if they actually are NOS.
Thanks kerophile. Looks like I'm in good shape except for a spirit bottle and instructions. I swiped a wrench from my other stove!
Thanks Kerry. I count myself as fortunate to have gotten it. This is my second Primus 96 but my other did not have a tin. I'm anxiously awaiting...
Thanks Ken. I've studied the gallery but also read that some of the stoves pictured may not be in the correct tin. From what I can tell mine...
I just received this Primus 96 kit. Stamped on the bottom is AB (1937) with the number 21 below it. I know it is missing the wrench and spirit...
