That was very entertaining, you are correct, an old device retaining its weathered look does have a charm about it. Many restoration videos show battered devices transformed into new condition, very impressive but often the natural used appearance is preferred. Enjoyed the Wessex Mount Vesuvius display too 😎

Thanks for sharing. I had a good giggle when the stove started flaming. I bought a nickel silent burner Primus from a closing down sale a while back, some young people in the house were fascinated by this unit. They had never seen such a contraption before. I cleaned it and then attempted to fire it up, all went well with a beautiful clean blue flame, suddenly there was this massive yellow flame shooting up. they all ran out of the house in terror, it was quite a funny moment. As you say remain calm and depressurize the unit it won't blow up. Still need to figure out why its doing this, possibly needs a new jet. Love these old stoves, they way better than that horrendous Panda stove rubbish that uses a wick, gives an efficiency of below 40 %, burn badly and blacken the pot, and are known to blow up in peoples faces. The older generation were clever.

....In today's episode, Ben sets fire to his shed!!!!!...... I really like that one Ben, want one - had a quick look on ebay, guess I'll wait until I see one at a boot market/antiques fair or whatever!!! Lovely stove and a great design all fitting in the tin.

I soaked my tin in 5L of warm water and 55g of citric acid, and didnt damge the paint at all and removed the rust.

Great little find there Ben, amazed its survived from 1927, i've clicked the bell for your future videos regards mr f

Hello Ben, A very interesting video... Looking forward to seeing the few tweaks you need to make in a future video... Cheers. Paul,,

Cor Blimey Ben ,, matey lucky you did not singe your eyebrows there ! .. but well done you got there in the end and mastered the little beastie .. I note everything to hand at your workshop .. Bens mancave .. hey do you keep an emergency fire extinguisher handy ? I did really enjoy seeing your enthusiasm and knowledge ....well done...many of us do not know about the dark arts of stoves and lamps ...😆

Wow! You scored that complete wee stovey for a fiver? Excellent bargain Ben! It was rather alarming though when it went a bit rogue! Cheers Ben, thanks mate but for goodness sake be careful with those things right in the workshop there!

Good deal Ben! That Swedish wonder for pounds five! In these regions I would not lose 70 pounds. Congratulations.

You need to give these a extra long prime before pumping it I have found

Wow 1927. I have an old railway one somewhere.. it's a little bigger. A handy tool to have for when the power goes out

Мастер от бога😂

How are your eyebrows now? Absolute peach of a stove set there my friend, having the packing sheet is pretty special.

And I forgot to mention that they're even noisier than I remembered!

Hi. Would you take £10 for it?

That shop is a fire hazard

there is no safety technology!.. you definitely should not be given such things in your hands)) you didn't even warm it up properly before launching. give this primus in safe hands, it is clearly not for you. the nozzle needs to be replaced with a new one, it has too large a hole for normal operation. the flame is smoky. or the nozzle is heavily clogged. it needs major repairs
