Vintage Coleman Single Burner Camp Stove Restoration -ASMR

Well I've finally got around to restoring the 1953 Coleman 500 Stove I found at Burley Park on Memorial Day. Can we save it and make it a runner again?

Excellent video. Very thorough. Here is the real problem with that stove. I don't have one, now I have to go find one

Thanks Abandon History! You Can't go wrong with a Coleman single burner!

Great find and nice save! I enjoyed seeing your work!

[@MrVintageRestoration]

Thanks Danymite! I'm a sucker for Vintage Coleman stuff! I always try to save the original paint if its not too far gone

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!

1. Use the correct size wrench. Crescent wrenches do nothing but distort nuts. 2. Penetrating oil, always.

Hey I was enjoying ur video, watching it before I tackle mine. One question is that the original tank? If so mine is not. Ty

[@MrVintageRestoration]

Thanks for watching! Yes it is the original tank. The Speed master stove has a couple variations. They were either painted or nickel plated. I have another video on my channel of a restoration of a nickel plated one.

@@MrVintageRestoration good afternoon, my name is Wade, I sent an earlier email this morning but was unsure if you received. I didn't want to much time to go by because I just wanted you to know I'm very serious about having my stove restored. I should be receiving my stove by Wednesday, so if it's o.k. I could send you a picture and hopefully, maybe we can have a discussion about your time and schedule and about costs. Thank you for your time.

@@wadeosceola6738 Hi Wade, I didn't receive the email. [e-mail] I'm happy to chat with you about the stove. I do take customer work from time to time although not often. Mr. Vintage is my side gig, in addition to a family and full time job. That being said I'm happy to talk with you about your Coleman 🙂

Mr. Vintage, I totally understand and it's why I wanted to to be considerate of your time . I was just really impressed not only with your video but by the focus and expertise that it took to get to the finished product. So before it gets too late, if it's o.k. when the stove comes in , I'll send you a picture and hopefully we can get to the next step. Have a pleasant night ! Thank you.
