Thank Bugstrider, nice selfie!
They are very simple and effective plus, they perform very well at higher elevations unlike propane or blended fuels stoves do.
I have polished the brass on it a few times, looks like new for about a month and goes right back to tarnished patina.
I believe Optimus still sells the the same basic design, replacement covers may still be out there too.
I have a case of 1950's tech matching up with 2000's tech- quite to my surprise and joy a .8 liter Jetboil slides right down over the stove with one paper towel as a liner.
I did have to break out my Dremel to allow the jetboil to seat on the SVEA correctly... this stove has always boiled water quickly and now with the Jetboil (no affiliation) its even better.
