Ah yes, I still have my Svea 123 brass stove with cup! I fired it up last summer and it still ran find after 20 years of not using it. Its still a jet engine with only on or off function. But it brought back many memories. I went thru a bunch of stoves, small Coleman, Wisperlight (great for winter camping), then to canister stoves (MSR and Snowpeak). Now I then to use a canister or one of the homemade alcohol stoves I have. Kind of a toss up between them, sometimes I just like my Snowpeak (fast) others I just sit back and watch the alcohol stove. Both are light. But you are correct, I have a bunch of stoves, each one brings back memories.
