Optimus paraffin cooker

[pugwash]

I've got a chance to buy an old one secondhand, seems in good nick. Does anybody have experience of Optimus or do you know where I can find out? Thanks.

They are Ok but before you hand over the money, pump it up and check its operation, especially when you turn it off, the jets shouldn't leak. If they do you can buy replacement burners complete, forget the repair kits its too fiddley and not always successful.
