Hi,
hoping someone can point me at resources on how to restore an old Primus stove, unsure of model etc.
Are there any good tutorials and where is a good place to source bits that need replacing?
As ever most grateful for any help.

I can recommend the following for supplying spares for old stove parts. Both of the proprietors are extremely knowledgable and happy to help you out.

Base Camp

The Fettle Box

YouTube is a great source of restoring old camp stoves but there's also Classic Camp Stoves forum where you can get it identified and be advised what you need to do to bring it to life. You can also check out the Vintage Camping Stoves and Lanterns group on Facebook

Another recommendation for Base Camp. Their old shop used to be in Littlehampton, a true Aladdins cave of lamps, stoves, and eccentricity. :)

Can’t agree with this more, absolute gem of a place through a totally innocuous white door!

They have moved somewhere else now but not sure where?

Peterborough I think. They did need a slightly bigger workshop than the ex hairdressers in Littlehampton. :)

Somewhere on here I put some pics up, I’ll have a look.

A couple here.
