Stylish Camping Stove Restoration - G. Barthel 1930s Norma 51

In this video, I restore an old rusty camping stove made in Germany in the 1930s.
More about the restoration process:
It was very challenging but rewarding. I learned a lot about camping stoves!
The little stove was in disrepair when I got it. The fuel tank was damaged; it had a considerable bent that required a lot of skill and patience to repair because I couldn't open it, mainly because it was in the shape of a sphere.
If you want to learn more about this antique German stove, I encourage you to watch this video.
When I saw it, even though I was shocked at how bad it looked, full of dents, bends, rust, and burn!
The most challenging part was the pipe that had a wick stuck inside. I've tried many methods off-camera to avoid extra work and extensive interventions. Still, unfortunately, nothing worked, so the final decision/chance to get it working again was to make a section and then solder it back together.
After removing the rust, the parts were painted with heat-resistant paint, and I polished all the beautiful brass parts. At the end of the video, I made a test so you can see how it works!
More about the camping stove:
It was manufactured by the famous Norma 51 (Barthel) company in 1936.
I hope I have caught everything, but if you have any questions, you can comment, and I'll get back to you!
Cheers! Johnny.

А ничего что он за каким то хреном разрезал трубку, заменил нормальный асбестовый шнур на кусок ваты, и отломанный отвод припоял обратно оловом а не латулью как оно должно быть? Горе реставратор одним словом )

Nigdy wcześniej nie spotkałam się z metodą klejenia na gorąco w sztyfcie, do naprawiania wgnieceń, gdy nie można przedostać się na drugą stronę!😺 I've never seen the hot glue stick method before, for fixing dents when you can't get to the other side!😺

Just found your channel looking up one of these old stoves. Pretty cool but mine doesn't have the fuel tank. I was thinking about modifying a old brass toilet float for one. I have a copper expansion chamber off a ac unit but it's thick and heavy. Be easy to tap and thread but was worried about tipping over once it has fuel in it. Anyway enjoyed your content and will be watching more. 👍👍
