It turned out nice, but I have a couple of suggestions to you. Do not sandblast brass, clean it with degreaser and then with acid to get rid of the corrosion/oxidation, and then polish it - you'll get a much nicer result. Before resoldering you should take the parts completely apart, clean the soldering areas thoroughly, remove all the old tin, and then resolder the parts together again with new tin. I could see you were struggling to make the tin flow as it should, and that's because of contamination with impurities from the old tin, and be aware of the heat - too much heat and you'll burn the flux.
Many happy memories. I'd suggest to take enough time for the head to preheat well. Less sooty. I found anyway. On one trip a neighbour gave a bottle of very pure kerosene that he used for cleaning photo copiers, I think. Man, that burned beautifully! Bright blue flames. I admire your loving care of this restoration.
A really nice piece of history that has come back to tell stories about life as it once was. The cleanup was well done, good old Brasso, used by many a man to polish up the brass, of course back in the day they probably didn't have a polishing wheel to help with the shining. Thanks for sharing this video with us and please remember that this Texan watches you work.
This is very nice Chanel and skill full app , l enjoy every day . I learn always something , so I wish very long live app & their oner and maker technician .Thank you .
Another great video! I've loved these old stoves. Would love to have one for myself someday. Looking forward to your newest video and while I'm waiting I am catching up on your videos I haven't seen yet :)
Shannon, search stove restorations on Y T. I’m sure that I’ve seen one recently that took the whole base off to get to the internals. Hope your soldering skills are up to it.
I think it's open.. But the straight up tube on Tilley lamps have a roll of brass wire mesh inside. Not as a filter though. Being metal it warms up with the tube and so the greater surface area increases vaporization of the paraffin. That shouldn't be necessary here since the burner head has those loops of tubing at the hot end, exactly for the purpose of vaporization. It would be interesting to experiment, but I don't think it would hurt any if you put a roll of steel mesh in the tube or even a ball of coarse wire wool. Good luck
you started with a primus in excellent condition to begin with; sorry that you sandblasted it, and third your video is too slow; I played it on 2x and still looked slow.
Thank you for the comment. I feel each creator on TH-cam has there own way of recording and editing, We prefer detailed views that show the majority off what we do, not just highlights. We have done several polls in the past asking our subscribers what length videos they prefer and 90% asked for videos longer than 10 minutes.
It's how I got it from the metal recycling yard, the video and video editing made it look easy. There is a lot going on behind the scenes. Once you restore your own items, you will realize. Then try and video your restoration and do the video editing. You tend to appreciate videos like these more when you realize the effort going into it.
Hello Dear Friend! Awesome video! Have a beautiful weekend! 👍 96
Thank you! You too!

Thank you very much for the tips, I will definitely keep this in mind when doing anything similar to this again.
They made beautiful things in the past
Thank you for carefully restoring some of them.

Thanks for sharing! I'd love to get hold of that pure kerosene!
Great result!

Excellent work mate. I love those old stoves. Haven’t restored one yet as I don’t have the jet spanner. 👍🇦🇺
I made my own one with an old printer shaft and a grinder! Thanx for the comment, I appreciate!

Nice restoration
Can u make a vudeo on restoring a dented primus stove?
Cause I have one primus stove which has to many dents so I am confused how to restore it?

@@shedmanx3640 thank u shed man x I searched on TH-cam but no such video like that
@@shedmanx3640 yes a lot of soldering skill to the work
Very nicely done, dude! 🤘
Thanks a lot Andy, we appreciate the support.
Se me hace que le falta el sombrero a la boquilla superior
🤔
Thank you for the comment.
Perfect restoration.
Well done
Did you test by alcohol or kerosine???
perfect work.
Thanks a lot!
Does the riser pipe have an open connection to the tank? Or is there some sort of cotton filter in there?
Good job

It certainly looks like a Primus, but I didn't see that name anywhere. What's written on the fount?
The stove is very hot, be careful okay. 🔥🔥🔥🔥⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️
Rechou 1970 tre bien 👍👍👍🇩🇿
😉 Very nice work.👏
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
👍👍👍👍
Respect for Labor
Thank you.
Yo quiero uno.
Gracias por el comentario y la vista.
Some of these had a valve to turn the fuel to the burner off.
Looks like a torch has been taken to it to make it look like it's in worst shape before starting
Not sure what the previous owners did to it. This is how I found it in the metal recycling yard
what about the rust inside the tank
The unit was sealed pretty well. Surprisingly we did not see any rest inside the tank after opening the stove up.
you started with a primus in excellent condition to begin with; sorry that you sandblasted it, and third your video is too slow; I played it on 2x and still looked slow.

انا احب هذه الاصلاحات
شكرا لك
Perfeito
Muito obrigado
Where canwe by parts in US or Canada?
I have no idea.
Please i have one of the stove old stove made in Sweden am sailing it
Не самый педантичный подход к реставрации. Что было криво, осталось криво.
Спасибо за комментарий. Будем больше работать над этим вопросом в будущем.
