Large Antique Primus No 2 Stove Restoration

Good day ladies and gentlemen! This is a giant primus stove I picked up at the local scrapyard. It had some issues and is still not burning as intended, but I got it working again. The Primus stove, the first pressurized-burner kerosene (paraffin) stove, was developed in 1892 by Frans Wilhelm Lindqvist, a factory mechanic in Stockholm. The stove was based on the design of the hand-held blowtorch; Lindqvist’s patent covered the burner, which was turned upward on the stove instead of outward as on the blowtorch. I hope you enjoy the video.
