> I had a Svea 123 > for almost 30 years and it finally died last year. Died! Died!!!?? They don't die, just need a little maintenance sometimes. All the parts are still available. Now the 71 I'm refurbishing is taking a bit more, rebraze the burner on, replace jet etc. but there's nothing simpler really. The Svea 123 I use is a cheap clone but the other 71 (other than the one above) is real. The 99 is better than the 8R because the box is aluminium and the lid doubles as a pot. I also use an Optimus 00 because it runs on kerosene which is available any where in the world (helicopters, jet engines, third world stoves etc.).
