    I can’t resist a bulk lot of stoves. So when four reasonably priced stoves popped up on Maketplace I decided to get them.

    two Optimus 80s with rusty cases. An Optimus 22 that’s had some water sit in the bottom of the case and a Monitor 2 pint stove. Oh and a good collection of cobwebs.
    the cases on the Optimii are mostly sound.
    They can go into the fettling queue for now.

    Great haul @gnome, love that No.22, and the Monitor! Nice they all look complete for once, no loose parts missing!

    You did well…look forward to seeing the 22 when you have restored it.

    If the rest of the case-apart from the after damage- on the No.22 is anywhere near as good as the inside, I hope you'll consider conservation rather than repaint!
