Christmas Present to myself

Postby lrdudley » Mon Dec 24, 2012 4:47 pm

The Christmas pesent to myself arrived today. A 6/63 Model 520 single burner Coleman stove. From the looks of this stove I dought it has been fired more than once or twice. The burner looks brand new and there is only a little shelf rash on the bottom rim. I hope to have some time tommorrow to fire it up. It pumps up fine and holds pressure.
Still need to order a globe and mantels for the $2.00 237 I found earlier, but it cleaned up nicely and fired up in a quick test without a mantel. I may have to find a "Coleman Annonimous" group or just deal with the fact I may have to find more Colemans.

Didn't have any Coleman Fuel so decided to fire it up with kerosene.
