Been down all day since this weekends hunt for bargins on auctionsites that went to crazy prices due to the lamp-prize-bubble... Walking into my dressingroom at work to change, only to find this waitning for me... Ahhh. My dear friends know my weakspots..
Yes. It's a primus 991. Here dismantled after initial cleaning, seems in ok condition besides the top. Not mutch deposits in the tubes and needle and jet is in fine condition. Came with a radius glass (not that easy to come by these days). Murphy also came on a visit when i broke if the centerbolt on the tank while dismanteling.
In case you're wondering, the centre bolt is a 1/4" Whittworth thread. Btw, what year is it. If all the parts are original, then it should be between 1938 and 1946. My guess would be around 1940.
Check on that Nils, im thinking of drilling a hole up and down threading thouse holes and inserting a threaded rod. The lamp is from 1946 since its stamped AK17 in the bottom. If it wasnt for the god damed rust it would be fine
I am profoundly impressed.... I have only found a Primus 1020 in my life, but for 20 pounds?...that is unfair! I may need to explore more on the net to find one more. I like that Primus.
im thinking of trying to get a tilly and a coleman to add to my collection. But that would be via ebay or so. The odds of finding thouse in barns in sweden are low at best.
