2016年9月12日 · Although the engravings on the windshield/pan support remain the same. Odd Svea never added an R to indicate the 123R instead of the 123. Top picture is the 123R The next picture is the true difference between the 123 and the 123R. The burner on the right is the 123, without the cleaning needle. The stem of the valve is angulated downwards.

$55 for a 123R is not much of a deal, to me, but $55 for a Sievert Svea 123 would be a smashing deal. In my opinion, the most undervalued Svea 123 is the Optimus Svea 123 without the rings on the vaporizer. as close to a Sievert 123 without the high cost.

2021年7月9日 · The Svea 123 is a self-pressurized, white gas (naptha) only stove. First sold in 1955, it quickly became a favorite of above-the-treeline mountaineers. The stove is rated at ~4700 BTUs, it will run at full throttle for nearly an hour.

2024年8月6日 · Svea No: 123 & 123R The 123R was the later version produced by Optimus after they took over the Svea brand in 1970. There are many claims that the 123 model has been around for over 100 years - in fact the 123 was launched in 1955.

2023年3月4日 · I restored an early model of SVEA 123. After purchasing OPTIMUS 123R, I learned about Max Sievert's 123. And because of its beauty, I wanted to own one someday. However, in my country, Max Sievert's 123 (especially the early model) is very expensive, so I couldn't afford it. I found a battered 123 the other day. Also, some parts were missing.

2018年3月16日 · Well, the first one I tried was the 123R with the Optimus 80 fuel cap - and the pulsing was just as bad; then I tried the Optimus with the 123R fuel cap; if anything, even worse! I had to prime it twice to get it to go at all, and it was a weak, feeble flame, mostly orange. Even after running for about 5 minutes, it was still pathetic.

2009年8月11日 · This is what a Svea 123R with the standard roarer burner looks like: Now here are some photos of Gary's silent damper in operation on the same Svea 123R: It's now time for Turkish Coffee, and this is a good test of a stove as you want a slow simmer, rather than high power: Now we can look at the difference between low power settings and full blast:

2018年9月23日 · I, too, love the older SVEA123's, and most especially, the first version of the Sievert SVEA 123!! BUT, a good 123R is still a great performer, though many times, right out of the box, the cleaning needle needs to be reset. As shipped, it common for the cleaning needle to be set too high, so there is no "throw" in the simmering control.

2009年8月25日 · The Svea 123 and 123R are perfect for this because they are all brass, including windshield. In fact the Scandinavian and British stoves (not all) are mostly brass, so they can usually be brought back to running as they did when first manufactured.

2011年2月3日 · Here are 3 pot sets I've accumulated for my Svea 123's and one 123R. Thought it might be fun to do a basic head to head comparison. 1) Optimus Terra (anodized aluminum) 2) Gaz Globe Trotter (aluminum) 3) Snow Peak Titanium Mini Optimus Terra: Large pot - 32 oz Small pot - 18 oz Svea cup 12 oz and handle fits inside with room for a stuff sack.
