1923 Primus 96, Pocket Outfit

One of the Condrup Pocket Outfit turned up here in the colonies. So of course I bid on it and managed to win it. The seals and pump leather are gone and the NRV is stuck so no flame shots.

 

That's your senior, 96.
About 100 years old?

Please take your time to fix it.

 

Love those Pocket outfits.

 

Will you restore the gaskets and washer to make it alive again?

 

Yes. eventually. I'm going to have to be careful trying to get the NRV out. I don't want to damage a 102 year old stove.

 

@gnome patience with that NRV will be crucial.
Sometimes filling the tank with boiling water seems to allow a penetrating oil to do its job a bit better.
Good luck.

 

Nice find
