I've only worked on a few 111's but another thing to keep in mind is that some have the old style optimus one piece molded pips in the NRV. In...
Slow here too 8:48 am local.
A friend gave me a half gallon of Coleman he found at a yard sale. It had the original price tag of $5 on it from a store that closed down maybe...
Welcome. Yes, as Tony says the numbers are patent numbers. 48624 is the Swedish patent number for the recessed filler while 171536 is the English...
True. If a factory OEM windshield didn't come with my Opti 111T I would have never seen a silent burner windshield. Many people here have...
Most of my stoves were acquired from eBay where I was the highest bidder of a worldwide audience. To get a decent price for a sale I would have to...

All I know about these is what I've learned over the years from the Miles Stair website. I can't imagine ironing your good clothes with one of...
I believe in the US they were called sad iron heaters and were used for that purpose. The irons themselves are sometimes still found on ebay or in...
@nmp Fired my Juwel yesterday. I've had the stove since June 2013 so a ten year anniversary firing was due. The jet hole is so small it's barely...
If I had to guess I'd say .28mm but I can't confirm that. I haven't fired it up for a few years and forget what wire I used at the time. I'll take...

Surplus British is not a brand name. They are SH&H brass outer burner caps that the British military used. I think they are from 1945 and it seems...
Welcome to CCS Steve. My first kero stove and also what brought me to CCS was an incomplete Svea 105. Exactly the same as yours, missing burner...
Many of these stoves were produced. Couldn't you get parts from Russia? I believe Iran and Russia still have good trade agreements.
Even though the fuel cap seal looks original it may still be good and not leaking. You can test it by pumping the stove and then applying some...
Yes, these are heavier than the Russian stove you showed us but it should be able to cook anything you put on it without problem. It looks like...
Nice score gnome. I would expect to find the 1 piece molded pip that Optimus was using during that time period in the 111 so you'll need to get...
Did I get the picture wrong? I’m viewing from my phone. Sorry
Looks like you have nice older units with the slotted srv, thin control knob and embossed cases. The difference between burners is the 111B has 2...
