Howdy, first poast here
I found this what looks like an antique stove, got it for basically free, I gave 20 bux for it
I dunno much about these at all. I did some basic internut research but cant find nothin'
I was told its set up for NG. I wanna convert it to propane. But before, I needta gno what I'm lookin' at
I uploaded some pics of this thing here https://postimg.cc/gallery/8LK6Crh/7fa09072
the first thing that draws my interest is the area marked in red here: https://i.postimg.cc/ZqX0TcJL/DSCN7170a.jpg
I reckon this is its pilot light, its plumbed to a fittin with a screw on the backside and what looks like a pushbutton on the frontside. It doesnt do any pushin or pullin, but it does rotate. I suppose this is broken or stuck inside?
heres a pic of its tag

So far I gather that if Im gonna convert it from NG to LP, I gotta resize the orifices that discharge into the mixing tubes, to the proper smaller size acording to the BTU of their respective burners
Also gotta install some safety valve that cuts gas flow if pilot lite dies.
I have a fabrication and machine shop, so am pretty confident I can probly make any kinda part it needs
Dunno where to start, any help greatly appreciated
