Ok, so its not just a different sized jet then? Looks like there is a tube that slides down inside the burner for alcohol use?
Well it will save me much time and work, which will mean I can get it working sooner. I will share photos here as I make progress with it. I guess...
Yes very good points, as I do intend to use the stove, it's probably best to just enjoy it as is. The priming cups are nothing like I've seen...
See photos of front, I guess it might clean up, but there are rust spots all over.
Thats good to know, because I probably would heated the thing if i attacked it first. Its interesting to see many people like to leave these...
OK, if you think it's better to not do a full restoration, then perhaps I won't, but it definitely needs a cleanup. I'm not too sure what most...
OK, I'll give that a go, ive never tried straightening one of these, but have spares. Not sure how robust they are, I thought I may have to heat...
Found at a swapmeet for $30 NZD so not complaining, but its going to need a bit of work. Anyone familiar with this model? Looked fairly rare so i...

Yeah I just read something about melting solder on the stove. Anyway, I used s heat gun instead of a blow torch and got it free. It's working fine...
And to add to the mystery, the person in this thread claims to have a stove with the same date, but no photos. 1951 Coleman 530
I loosened that last night and it was real tight. I tried turning the knob but still won't move. I might need to try heating it up. Don't want to...
Don't know alot about these stoves but have always been interested in finding one and I did just that yesterday. It looks like its in fairly good...
Ok, I wondered about that mesh, I will have to fire it up and test it out!
Interesting that they are kerosene! Doesn't appear to have the same generator tubes like you see in a primus no5. I wonder how they designed it to...
Just bought this near new Optimus 96. Looks like its only been used once before. Unfortunately there is a small dent on the bottom of the tank...
