Another thumbs up from me on raising the spreader plate. Transformed my 123r from an insoluble yellow tipped monster into a pure blue flamed...
@Pillepalle - I’ve just fitted a 2509 jet (bought from uk supplier) in my 123r, as it was burning rich. The new jet was an unpleasant fit in the...
@Kiwi NZ Nice job with the spirit tubes! I have a 535 that is missing both of these. I don’t suppose you still have your sacrificed flattened tube...
@Spiritburner Wonderful stove. I’ve just acquired a lovely No1 outfit. The inside of the tin lid has the enigmatic ghostly outline of the label...
@SveaSizzler Necessity’s the mother of invention I guess. Credit cards do a good job of spreading Nutella too :-) @ArchMc Makes perfect sense....
Here’s a shot from a 1937 Trangia catalogue: I think I have a handle from a Campingsats 624. At least that’s a useful period modification for a...
@OMC Thanks for your response. I agree, it’s not a genuine primus handle, but the pressed nature of the holes for the rings suggests it’s...

Thanks for your comprehensive reply. I’ll let you know how I get on
Thanks Daryl. I suspected that it could have been for a wooden/ stick handle and your observation of the purpose of similar rings on the M40...

I have exactly the same issue with an early Optimus 96 - and similarly am hoping to avoid having to unsolder the pump tube. @Dutchmike could you...
Apologies. Just seen tip for embedding images in the post! Will do in future.
Ilat sets are quite unusual yet despite their quality and good design they don’t seem particularly popular with collectors. Perhaps that’s why I...
They also came in wicker cases. This one is beautifully crafted with the lid seating against a woven band on the base. The kettle here is smaller...
@presscall Thanks John. Below a couple of images of the flat case version of the Ilat set. You can see it made excellent use of the case space,...
@presscall @nmp @Robert Radcliffe They were a well designed outfit, very well suited to the cube teapot ( thanks presscall for the patent doc!)....

@nmp Aware this is a very old thread - but I am a huge fan of ILAT picnic sets and have recently purchased an excellent set, pretty much of the...
@presscall - Thanks for the lead (this forum is as ever an amazing resource). @Staffan Rönn - does my suggestion of the particular design...
