I haven't been in touch with this group for several years – good to see it going strong. Many posts for me to catch up with! I’ve got several...
I have an 8R that is over 40 years old and purchased new. Over that time it has been lugged for miles though the NZ bush and mountains without a...
All sorted now. Ordered from Brass monkey. Thanks for all help.
Hi Brass monkey, I can't drive this web site - how do we communicate? Can you please try gnicklin@4survey.co.nz Thanks Grant
Can anybody tell me if the 535 has the same diameter pump washer as in a 111? It looks to me that the 535 pump tube has a bigger diameter.
Mmmm.... Coleman 425E and 111T - they are my current love in stoves. My 111T is ex US Marine Corp and I think it may have been on a few...
I once tried my 111C on NZ diesel fuel and it was very difficult to start and stank. I would never do it again.
What is the difference between the burners on a 111T and a 111/7? I did see a post a while back on this.
This has been posted on the local auction site. Can any members confirm that is is actually a genuine 111/7?...
Yeah that makes sense. Many thanks.
How do I replace the graphite packing? I have undone the locking nut and does the spindle just pull out to enable the old packing to be removed?...
Look like what I really want is a 111/7. I have not seen any of those here in NZ.
Many thanks for that info Bajabum and RonPH. I will check those sources out and let you know how I get on.
It looks like the burner for the 111T is not available so what can I use? I am keen to put a silent burner on an old "std" 111. I don't mind if...
Can I use the new 207b burner to replace the burner on an old 111 to produce the equivalent of a 111T? (kero only I assume?). If so, I will be...
I am keen to see the manual for the 111T too
"F & Res" - maybe "Search & Rescue" - "S & Res"?
It looks like it has had more than one use to me.
PS - great new site, good work. Many thanks for all the development work.
The new Optimus stoves sound like Microsoft and their crap products to me. They don't give a toss what the users want or think.
