    Does someone have a photo of a Petromax Baby pricker and rod? If not whole, then the tip with wire.

    Thank you in advance.

    @Tony Press, if it is the 821 Baby, the brass pricker holder and wire should be standard Petromax, varying only in wire diameter.
    I'm not sure about the 900 Little Baby.
    The pricker rod / conducting rod should also be standard 200-250 Pmax.

    Thanks, Phil.

    The one I am looking for (this time) is the 821.

    Cheers

    I think the dimensions and shape of the Optimus eccentric block are slightly different from the Petromax one.

    Hi, the Optimus 200 is old enough to share the same rod with solex 200 and petromax 821, the newer Optimus 1200 have different excentric block at the base of the rod.
