    Here are a few shots of this veteran Op.111T running on kerosene this morning:

    Optimus made some cracking stoves!

    I agree with your comment, and this is one of the most “cracking”!

    @kerophile ,

    George,

    Excellent job on returning this wonderful 111T back to service!! If I could have only 5 stoves, a 111T would most certainly be one of them!! I think this model is one of the best stoves that Optimus ever offered! "Most cracking" indeed!! Thanks for sharing, and as always, God Bless!

    Every Good Wish,
    Doc

    Excellent. British Racing Green a fave, especially when accented with white. I will adopt your button-head program for fixing my 8r broken door attachment. I weld, but my welds aren't pretty.
