Primus No. 51. [ATTACH]
Any ideas on where one might get a travel/reserve cap, and what other stoves might use the same one? I have not been able to get the NRV out so far.
You were correct, No. 51. It was a family cleaning out their deceased father's home and garage business. They had no idea what it was, and...
I'm going to look at this stove on Friday & I have no idea what it is. It's pretty close & fairly cheap. Does it look generally complete?...
Optimus 111B, second light up (first one was outside in the sun so no good picture).
I'm really just trying to get a functional clean at this point, so I can handle the parts without my hands turning black. Your Primus looks great...
The burner parts on my latest acquisition (Optimus 111B) is VERY carboned up (exterior). This is a first for me, all my other stoves were...
I probably should have phrased my initial inquiry differently. I was mainly asking if replacing the gaskets in the cap and making sure it holds...
Wow, wide range of opinions. The gasket in the cap & the safety valve gasket look similar to my Svea ones, I will definitely replace those. I...

@GibsonsRavinePark2 no fair putting a pretty sailboat in your picture.
I have one, and I don't use it. Actually, I occasionally use most of it, just not the pot & lid. The aluminum is quite thin and easy to damage,...
The newer, larger version with the grey cups? My original (with the green cups) is too narrow, although they play together nicely otherwise.
Svea 123 in an Optimus 88 or 124 set.
This has been for sale for a while. It's too far away from me and the price seems too high for what it is. He claims it's US Army surplus....
Looks better after fresh fuel and a little use.
It wouldn't pump up so I replaced the rubber cup with a leather one from a Coleman latern (how is one supposed to get those push nuts loose?)....
Just picked up the above mentioned stove in a Sigg Tourist set. This is my first Coleman, so I did a search here & found a lot of info but no one...
I finally got around to working on this. I rounded up a new wick (well, new wicking material), but I can't get the vaporizer unscrewed from the...
