    I thought I had better put this in the gallery before it goes on sale on ebay. Here is my Radius No.12, it appears in the 1939 catalogue and advertisement but I do not know the date of this stove. I bought this from Sweden last year and it arrived in pieces and it took many hours of fettling to get it to this standard. I have had the pan support cleaned and then re zinc plated. The NRV's in the filler caps have been replaced and no longer leak and the graphite packing replaced. This stove works like a dream and was used as an extra burner for cooking Christmas dinner. I could have cleaned the burners up but as the stove was used that is how they should be.

    Since Christmas I have been collecting Coleman and AGM stoves and lanterns and this lovely has been sitting in my shed. It deserves a better home. I will post it in the auction watch.

    Excellent stove Den, nice to see you got to use it before putting it on the market. I would think that would fetch a very good price. I will keep my eyes peeled over her for you. :D

    Hi, I have acquired a Radius no. 12, like the one shown above.

    Some parts are missing, but the major difference is that mine has non-regulated roarer burners.
    They are marked Radius Ltd., which date them to post 1938, I believe.

    The stove is shown in the 1937 catalogue: https://classiccampstoves.com/threads/1937-radius-no-30-swedish.33220/, but with regulated silent burners.
    Can anyone say if this stove was ever sold with non-regulated roarer burners? Or should I consider this must be a later replacement?
    My stove stand is nickel plated (not enamelled), the tanks are all brass, not nickel plated.

    Cheers,
    Håvard
