In this Video I took care about this old stove. I bought it online from a private guy for around 15$. Its made by the brand “Gustav Barthel“ and the model is “Norma E11“. When I received it, the stove was in a bad condition. The metal was rusted and the brass tank had some serious cracks and bad solderings. The tanks cap was missing and the thread was mostly gone. I had to restore it! I started with disassembling this rusted stove, most of the screws and nuts were stuck and rusted. I couldnt even take out the old wick, it was full of soot and other stuff. After disassembling, i started restoring the brass tank, but after pulling out one dent i knew, that it has some serios defects. So i sent it to my friend ’my mechanics’, who offered me repairing the brass tank. So i sent it to him and could focus on restoring the other parts. I proceeded with the stoves main metal body, it was rusted and badly repainted. So i put it into the sandblasting cabinet and sandblasted it pretty clean. After that, i took some linseed oil and attached a thin layer of oil to the blank metal parts to season them in the oven. It baked by 250 degree celsius, in this process the oil burns a rustproof layer into the metal, which is also black and heat resistant. Next step was restoring the burner. Since the old brass tube was bent and full of soot, i decided to replace it with a new brass tube, which was soldered in. The rest of the parts got sandblasted, milled on the lathe mill and wirebrushed. The last part was the wick, which was completely destroyed while disassembling. So i made a new one. I took some steel wire and power drilled it to a new wick. With some cotton i weaved a new wick, that was really awsome! Right at the end, the restored tank from ’my mechanics’ was delivered. He also made a new cap with a new thread and a bleed screw for a better airflow. Thanks for that! After reassembling i took it to the final test and it shows, that this stove works perfectly now. Thanks for watching!
