Have had this a number of years, its always been a favourite of mine. An "M" 1923 unit. A nice combination of the 1-Pint compact size, with the early R132 (No.4 Size) Burner The pump rod and cap are non-original as they were missing when obtained. Otherwise the fittings are as-original. It needed the usual round of pump cup, NRV and cap seal. The jet was blocked solid but I managed to carefully soak it in oil to loosen up deposits and prick it clean. A fair plume of soot/oxide was ejected when I gave it a blast of air to clean it through! I gave it a clean and a light massage/rub with some machine oil to remove the grubbiness, the burner was given a light wire-wooling after firing to remove the remnants of oxides/contaminants from it. The start of the oxides burning off...... You only see these colours after a few decades inactivity I gave it a good blast for a while and boiled some water for about 20 minutes That's it cleared its throat/tubes, running beautifully blue. Whisper simmer and a lovely early-burner type full blast Delighted to put this lovely little stove into the regular rotation. It's No.30 sister (@igh371) will be next for the treatment... Proper test coming up...... Alec
Sausage Tuesday! 05/05/2020 A nice test for the No.34 Local Butcher sausage as always, YUM! Burner cleaned up nicely and running blue. Simmering nicely. Lodge fully loaded. Well that will do for me! Nice low controllable heat made this an ideal candidate for a small cast pan Alec.
