NFR: Vintage Svea123R backpacking stove...*REDUCED*

These classic brass stoves have enjoyed a surge in popularity of late and are well known for their reliability, cold weather and high altitude functioning. I have acquired several of various types and have been rebuilding them to their original glory. This stove runs like a blow torch and has many new parts that are necessary for safe operation if one is to use these old stoves. This stove will run great with no further work. Own a classic brass stove made in Sweden. I am just trying to recover the cost of what I have invested in this stove. $75 firm. Send PM. I prefer not to ship but I will if you pay the cost.
FWIW...I like to keep one of these classic white gas stoves in my rig when I go fishing just to heat a small pot of water for soup, tea or coffee.

Here is a link to a video of this actual stove burning. It is the stove on the left, the one on the right is an Optimus 99. You can see that the Svea is more efficient at heating the fuel tank and, subsequently, burns with much more force. The Optimus will eventually get there but it takes longer.

BTW How's the Lemonchella coming, or did you already drink the grain alcohol too?

I'm a lush but not that big of a lush! :rofl:

The lemoncello is coming along nicely. I transfer to a larger container and add the sugar & water in about a week. Then it has to sit for another few weeks before bottling. Mind your P's & Q's and you may get a surprise in the mail.....

Mailing alcohol is not permitted by the U. S. Postal Service. Mark has way too much alcohol around his place anyway. I'll come over and pick up his share.

Who said anything about mailing alcohol???? If Mark behaves himself I was going to mail him some, uh, uh, homemade cookies! Ya, cookies, that was it!

But you, Mumbles, are welcome to try the lemoncello...when it's done.:thumb:
