Anybody have an old Optimus Paraffin stove they want to get rid of? This boat came with a non working Optimus 535 and I would like to restore it back to good working condition. I know burner parts are available but the rest is not. BTW, was this stock on the AV? Thanks Gordon gazuum@...

Hi gazuum,
My vega has an origo two burner alcohol stove. I believe it was the stock range supplied.
The burner is like a metal disk about two inches thick and has a hole through the middle. You pour alcohol into the hole area into a bunch of mineral wadding that holds the alcohol and lets the vapor go up the hole and get lit. there are two burners.

Lyric had the Origo stove when I purchased her in 1989. After a failed attempt at frying chicken I got rid of it and went to a two burner propane camp stove. That was later upgraded to a
Force 10 2 burner with broiler. I really wanted an oven. The Force 10 was nice but is no longer made and did require some modification of the cabinetry to allow it to use gimbals. While in Mexico we ran into another Vega
That had a small Plastimo 2 burner with an oven. I wish I\'d known about them when I put the Force 10 in. I later found out that they were also used on the Albin Ballard.
The sport fishing boat I recently purchased came with a Origo 1500 single burner stove that looks to very similar. The tank is about 8 5/8" or 22 cm across by 2 1/8" or 5.5 cm tall. It has a wire grid over the hole for
the burner. The hole is about 3 1/8" or 7.75 cm across. There is a sticker on the side of it with fill instructions in English, Spanish and French. Patent numbers for GB, US Canada and europe with a patent date of 1982.
I have no use for this stove and will be selling it on eBay in the near future. Defender Marine carries new Origo stoves and replacement tanks. I\'d assume these are the newer tanks but Defender might be able to gt the
older style tank from Origo. Actually the replacement tank they list says it is for all Origo stoves. Origo also makes an alcohol fueled heater which takes a different tank. Defender also carries these. Is it possible that the replacement tank you looked at
was for the heater and not the stove? You could always order a tank from Defender and return it if it doesn\'t fit. It would cost the price of shipping. Walt

I have the same original origo stove. I’d like to replace the canisters but they are different from the newer canisters/stoves. Has anyone modified the older original stove & canisters?

Sorry Brian, I guess I should have been clearer. The model with 2 burners and a broiler is the one that is no longer available. All of their ranges with ovens also have a broiler. Walt

Yep and I believe the smallest (European Model) might be able to be fitted to a Vega. The one we had didn't have a door just a simple stainless steel box with a broiler burner. It was handy for fish, shrimp, pork chops,
steaks, etc. On top of th box was one large burner and cone small burner. It was a good stove and I'm surprised they dropped it. WaltFrom: AlbinVega@yahoogroups.com AlbinVega@yahoogroups.com on behalf of Brian Stannard brianstannard@... [AlbinVega] AlbinVega@yahoogroups.com
