I am going to overhaul my Optimus SVEA 123 this spring. Its not had an outing for a long time.
I bought it in the early 70's for 10 - 12 quid I think. A lot of money then, like a third of a weeks wages.
It sounds like a RAF Lightning on full afterburners when you crank it up for your early morning coffee
Mine is the one that came with a windshield and pan set (3) that telescopes together.
I still think its better than my Coleman 533, not least because I put bike fuel in it.
The pans need a bloody good clean!
Small pack size
