The original burner was knackered, so i have replaced it with a newer version M1 i think. The canister has been highly polished at sometime and looks good Tube with all spares Plus another spares tube still in the packet
Nicked one of those about a year ago on the cheap, chap had a seller rating of 3 on eBay, nobody would take a chance on him. Hard cheese to them, I say! Old Coleman Parts has a lot of replacement burner assemblies available, it's a M2 preheater burner, same as the 520 you have, but with a longer fuel tube. A few folks here have mounted the M2 burner on a lantern fount, made for a interesting stove/heater, works well in any case. Now, got a 530 to go with the other three stoves? Murph
@Murph I just realized i forgot to take a photo with the feet folded out, it has three feet and i think the bottom of the tank is steel not brass, will have to try a magnet. Cheers
Arch, that's not a 530 canister, the stamped 'F' in the top half tells me it's a late model military canister, tall for the 520, and set shorter for the M-1942 and M-1950 stoves. 530's have a metal section of 'strap' on the upper and lower halves for a handle.
True enough, and I see that now. Very shiny canister! In your 2nd, 3rd, and 4th photos, is that a 530 case to the left? In the 3rd photo it appears to have the "straps". I guess these photos are from your "group shot". ....Arch
