Hey, good for you Phat!! You beat the ebay market by about 300%.

My older Svea has the original pricker but I've chosen to never use it. Reason is, the jet is soft brass and the pricker is hardened piano wire. So, instead I use mono-filament or a little piece of 28ga. copper wire. Both work fine....however, I can only remember doing this once. The things don't get all that dirty.
Have fun with your new/old classic stove!
I love the C-130 analogy...yer right!


ps...did it come with the cup and valve key?
