    I’m working on a 1933 Primus No. 1051.

    It came fitted with a Coleman R55 generator. I had a spare, used, Primus generator that had a broken pricker wire.

    I decided to fix the Primus generator by brazing a cut-off Coleman pricker rod and pricker to the threaded end of the original Primus pricker rod:

    The “new” brazed rod.
