That would be cool wouldn't it! Cooler than the other side of the pillow.... No, far cooler than that, even. Trying to figure if I know anyone that works with Ti well enough to give it a run.

Damn....
Titanium has about 52% the mass of brass.
The SVEA 123, all up with the cup/pot/lid and a tank full, weighs 21 oz. A Ti version, all up, with a Ti cup/pot/lid and a tank full, would weigh about 11 to 12 oz.
Damn.... I'm SO wanting one.

I've been itching to own a Svea for years. This thread finally pushed me over the top. I snagged a non-R model on fleabay today, and from the photos it looks basically NIB with all the tools. Thanks for the push Sean.

I'm not sure what "R" stands for, but it's all the stoves produced since the early 70's. They have a different valve (the only moving part) which incorporates a built in needle for cleaning the jet. The pre-R's have a separate little needle tool for poking the jet from the outside. The easiest way to tell the two stoves apart is by looking at the valve itself. The early stoves have valve that angles slightly downward, while the "R" models are perpendicular to the main stem and slightly bulkier too. Here's a photo of the two models. SVEA123 vs 123R

Interesting thread!
I am in Sweden and these stoves are everywhere. If you meet somebody on a hiking trail and stop to share a coffee, this is the stove that often comes out of the backpack even today.
Until reading this thread, I had no idea that this particular stove was the subject of so much interest!

Living in Sweden, you might be taking several things for granted that American guys would appreciate.........

Where do they find those girls? The only native born Swedish girl I've ever knowingly met topped 225 and was as homely as a mud fence.
Anyway - both of my stoves are the old version. Under the cup, they have a little metal thing with a fold out pick. It's very easy to lose if you're not careful. Apparently I've always used good clean Coleman fuel because I've never needed it.

Does anyone know where I can get a wrench for a 123? I picked up a 123 for $1.00 at a garage sale. The stove works great, but it doesn't have the wrench tool. This is the model with the horizontal valve, if that makes any difference with respect to the wrench/key.

Picking up a great little stove for a buck!!! I'm jealous to say the least-----------yard sales around here consist of crap that people are too lazy (or cheap, or drunk) to haul to the dump! Here's a source for parts. I think you'll enjoy the stove. BTW, the horizontal valve makes it a 123R. SVEA parts
