    Picked this up at the flea market today after a bit of haggling with the seller. Apparently, his prices are based off eBay so I got it for half the price he was asking. A good deal nonetheless.

    This has no date coding on the bottom of the tank but rather on the foot 250260 so its was manufactured/assembled in 1960. It has the BAHCO stamp instead of the B A Hjorth on it.

    So this is my 2nd Primus 210. The first being assembled with donor parts.

    Yeah, am getting old really :shock: should read 205260 but typed it as 250260 :rage: Need to brew me some coffee now. Too many errors today....must reboot myself.

    Hey, you scored Ron!

    That'll make a very nice addition to your collection. I like the 210s very much. They are the perfect size to take out on hikes as far as kero burners are concerned in the classic models like these. A little more power than a 96, but not too big like an Optimus 45 (which I wouldn't take on a hike but have considered it).

    I reboot several times a day...

    Hey Sam, had to do my best haggling with the seller since it looks to be in VG condition, one I would not pass off on either as a collection or investment.

    Yeah, the older the cpu in the brain gets, the often I need to reboot.
