    Bought a nice little nickel plated Radius 20 this week. Has been on my wish list for a long time.
    This was the state when it arrived. Missing some bits and pieces.

    Buffed it up, changed the washers (NRV came out really easy luckily) and complemented with some parts I had laying around.

    This has seen a lot of use, the sellers grandfather bought it before WW2 and used it during the war. His father used it for trips in the 50s and 60s. The reserve cap seat has been soldered on in the wrong location, and I think one leg has been soldered as well. Tin and spirit can very well used as well.

    I have a soft spot for nickel plated stoves, so I took out som of it's family members. His cousin Primus 96, uncle Primus 97 and big brother Radius 21 with ufo burner. :mrgreen:
