Hey, Rune, I think you may be "pissing in the wind" on that one, my Friend!!! 8) Take care, and God Bless! Every Good Wish, Doc (who would never trade a #10 for a 502!!)
Hi Rune and Doc I think Doc is right. It would be the swap of the year. The 199 and 10 are usually expensive on Ebay. I do not have a 199 myself but I am looking for one. As Doc says: One day if you look .......................... Regards
Rune, you are right, I do not have a 502. I have instead three lovely Optimus 10, one more than you , and that's just perfect
Hey, Arne, Coleman 502's are a dime a dozen over here. So, if you ever want one, and don't mind waiting for a good one to come along, the price will probably be around $10, or less. Let me know, and I'll keep my eyes open for you. Take care, and God Bless! Every Good Wish, Doc
Sorry Rune - I also only have two - but Virgin's both ! I have had 3 - one of these was used, and I traded it with some "brass". But the real stove is 111 roarer on parafin - noisy and powerfull.
Does anyone know where I can find ranger 199 in the market? I owned #10 so long, due to the over heat problem, I cannot use a big cookset.
There has been a run of 199's on ebay, US and Canada. They have been going for astronomical amounts though...
Off the shelf - there was a small 96 parasene with a relatively huge silent burner & then there is the Primus 70/71 with optional silent burner cap.
Hey, Ross, Great to hear from you! Thanks for that info on the small silent burners, too. As Kerophile says so very often, and it's absolutely true: "Aren't stoves fascinating"?!! You bet, they are!!! Take care, and God Bless! Every Good Wish, Doc
199, great little stove, only draw back is cooking time, but you can get about 50 minutes of simmer after a boil, so pretty good for such a small tank. Heat output is way above the 123/8/99 (click)
Hi all expert the 199 can use three kinds of fuel. which one is the most powerful? is Kerosene? or White Gasoline or Alcohol?
