My USSR grandparents kept talking about these Primus burners. They were a staple in the 30s. When gas stoves became ubiquitous and replaced kerosene burners, some people brought these to the beach and cooked freshly caught fish on them.
Throwback just remembered our kerosene pump stove that we are using when I was a little boy. My mother used to bring it to the repair shop just to replace the burner and the loosen gasket of the pump and charge her in not a considerable price I think that I can able to do it. Luckily I have found an adjustable wrench drop by a speeding tricycle. So I'm the one who's replacing the burner when needed. I m happy coz I conribute a little help for our poor family. Thanks for the memory God bless us ♥️
I just managed to get one of these going after many years. I had found it in the local tip shop over 20 years ago and it had been under the house stored until I reactivated it. Satisfying restoration video. Thanks.
In itself it looks nice, but it could be much better. The Burner can also be polished. There is also a part missing from the Burner!! In your case, the Burner Cap consists of fire-resisting steel, but an Inner Cover still needs to be placed underneath! Then it burns much quieter. What I also missed is the disassembly of the pump valve! This is an extremely important part, without which the stove cannot be used. Maybe you can show this again in a next episode? Good luck, Jan
Folks I grow up with one of those and I was living alone for four years learning the trade electrician and I was 12 years old around 1956 but I remember this think to used every day cooking !
Bacana ! Tenho lampião a gasolina, era usado no Exército nos anos 70, 80 . O esquema para funcionar é bem parecido. Usa-se uma camisa igual as dos mais modernos q funcionam á gá butano. Tem a bombinha , regulador de claridade mais forte e mais fraca., válvula para interromper o combustível. Estava meio esquecido por um tempo, mas fiz uma manutenção, troquei borrachas de vedação q estavam ressecadas e ele funciona perfeitamente. Ainda está na cor original do exército , VERDE OLIVA. Uma relíquia.
Just a suggestion regarding the small parts, (this from many reloadings of bass bullets), if you use walnut shell medium in the tumbler with a tablespoon of brasso followed by washing the bass in lemishine dishwasher detergent the brass parts will shine like gold without any erosion from the abrasive tools and you will spare yourself the bruise under your thumb nail. The rest was a labour of love.
This is a 20th Century stove probably in the 50's or 60's. There should be a date code embossment. With that said, Primus stoves are very desirable to own and use, and are welll constructed, assuming you don't lose the loose parts. Very nice job polishing! Many replacement parts are still available.
Excelente Restauracion y puesta a prueba de esta, estufa de queroseno Primus modelo 5 antigua del siglo XIX, mis respetos y saludos desde Venezuela.💯👍👊💯💯👍👍🙏🙏
Ive had a 00 since 1970. The keys are 1) use light fluid or denatured alcohol to warm the kerosene 2) CLEAN kerosene. Filter 2x or 3x or you will have intermittent firing

Thank you! Cheers! We have restored a WWII kerosene (ruclips.net/video/A4nF0KXEZZ8/видео.html) as well with powder coating and used it several times. We haven't seen any issues yet.
Tuve varios Primus en mi casa en mi juventud, se usaban tanto para cocinar como tambien para calefaccionar. Como trabajo de restauracion esta muy bueno, la falla que hizo a poco de encendido se debe a una fuga de gas en la parte inferior de la valvula, ahi lleva una arandela de amianto o similar para sellar la union de ambas piezas. En general buen trabajo.

What was the point of adding soft solder to the side of one of the legs? The original attachment method was either brazing or silver-soldering, which produce a bond at least as strong as the metal being joined. The temperatures involved are much higher. Note that the legs survived the blasting without problem.
The legs were soldered to the body. The original attachment method was in fact not brazed or silver-soldered. All 3 legs had small cracks running down that needed reflowing and in this case the leg had to be taken off entirely and resoldered. Silver solder would have a much more shiny finish, and brazing would not be as smooth as normal lead solder that has been flowed. Also, almost anything can survive the blasting, even though it is a semi destructive way of removing surface imperfections, it is no way near abrasive enough for something not to survive the process. It all depends on the grit and air pressure used in the process.
Cordial saludo desde Manizales Colombia. Tengo una estufa Primus 100 que dejó de funcionar porque la válvula que controla la entrada del aire en el émbolo, quizás por el prolongado uso, se dañó y dejó de funcionar. Esa pequeña válvula va allí atornillada, y tiene forma de extracción pero no he podido encontrar la herramienta adecuada. Dónde y cómo la puedo obtener. Sobra decir que sus vídeos me encantan y me entretienen sobremanera.
¡muy bueno!, pero te faltó una aguja para destapar el oído (al final), cuando no la teníamos a mano le dábamos un soplido fuerte, 😉 Tengo el de mis padres, regalo de casamiento del año 1957.
Hola una restauracion muy bonita .pero incompleta no cambiaste ningun empaque y estamos hablando de empaques con mas de 90 años. La seguridad ante todo . Saludos desde Mexico.
I don't know where you get your items from to restore but you seem to have a number of items which are the same or very nearly the same as I do, lol! I acquired my Primus stove from my late father and the one I have is not as old as yours but the looks of it is nearly identical even though they were probably made about 40 years apart. Only difference is in the words/branding stamped into the metal plating. They don't change these designs much I guess!
A word of advice: stay away from regulated burners as they don't age well...they leak and catch on fire, spares are almost impossible to find. Unregulated burners however will last forever with occasional desooting by heating it up with propane torch and quenching in cold water couple of times.

These items are jewels of engineering. They will last for ages, perfect for the impending zombie apocalypse. Nice work.
Very true and thank you very much.

Used it till in the 80's in South African townships. Memories memories

You are absolutely right. This is an unfinished restoration.
My family used Primus stoves in 50s and 60s. There was also a "silent burner " model. The pump used to be at an angle.... nice..
Thanks for sharing
This is a silent burner, the other version is a roarer burner , which as it’s name implies burned like a blow lamp.
Spectacular!!! Sara
Great restore. For me it was peaceful to watch. :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice to know what I can achieve with expensive technologies like sandblasting and powdercoating that I definitely have sitting around in my garage!
놀라운 작업에 경의를 표합니다.
From South Korea.
Well I have learned something new today that Primus is Swedish brand, excellent restoration too.

Nice job with the restoration, there should be two parts to the burner, you are missing a second inner cap to the burner.

this one was bitter sweet my darling daddy had one back in the 60s and 70s only difference is he used methylated spirit as the starter/primer fuel

So Primus is a brand! It became a common name for such stoves in Soviet Russia.
You are right Primus is a product name. I think many well known brands over the years get related to a specific function.
My grandma used this but not spirit, it was kerosene oil. And it was from 1940's British india as i am from india.
They are extremely durable.
Great job! Cook some eggs and bacon on that sucker! 😁🤩
Thank you. We would love to do that soon.
I gave the thousandth like, good restoration. Well-functioning kerosene stove

Hopefully by summer there will be a new toenail. Well, the work is good.)))
Yes, thanks. :)
I suggest using tripoli first, followed by rouge second in your polishing. It will go faster.
Thanks for the tip!

厉害！修复的和新的一样。最后不知是否喷嘴口径还是混气问题导致了炉头内燃？需要调节一下。
Otra inquietud, esta estufa puede funcionar con alcohol industrial?
What kind of paint did u use to powder coat pls
Mine is lighting yellow flame i need to fix that please
GAS IS VERY EXPENSIVE , TODAY I STILL USE ONE LIKE THIS.......
What is the heat resistant colour to use the heated portion?

I've been cleaning and found one. Like this but I can't do what u did because I don't own this equipment
Sorry to hear.

Did you replace the NVR pip? If you did I missed it. If not then that should always be replaced.
I did not replace, sourcing parts in my country is a nightmare.
Amazing job AJ 👍 looks like a work of art. Can I ask how the black powder coating on the top held up to the heat and the flame ?
Over time it does burn off, mine still looks great, I have not used it since the restoration.
@@AJRestoration ok cool 👍 thanks for getting back to me

I think you can take photos of your left thumb each day and make a stop-motion video.
Funny enough, I actually thought of doing a timelapse of the nail healing! If only I thought about it earlier!
Отлично ! Но !!! Пламя ушло под колпачок - тушить надо немедленно !
Возможно поможет замена фосунки на меньший диаметр выходного отверстия.
Мы убрали более длительный процесс ожидания, пока пламя разрастется, и перешли к хорошему как можно скорее.
Mate what medium did you use for sand blasting?
Its medium grit silica sand. For softer metals I just use lower pressure.
