edit: Spring is back in place - giving it another go. Will report back.

Ok.. I managed to get it up to 6psi but at that point I noticed water starting to bubble up the edges at 2 spots. I'm guessing I didn't have the lid on tight enough. I'll wait for it to cool down and give it one more shot for the night. Thanks for being patient with me guys, I'm kind of skiddish working with things like this, hah.

Ok.. 2 tries and 2 minor burns later (I used the pressure exhaust and I thought it was cold.. but apparently it just killed the nerves fast enough for me not to feel the burn, heh)... anyhoo, its back on the stove. I'll report back once more.

Got it!!! It seems like once I let the flame hover at about half blast, the gauge seems to hover at 15PSI, without any adjustment on the spring valve thingie. After getting burnt, i think I feel a touch more comfy adjusting the pressure with the flame than I do with the spring. Thanks so much guys, I appreciate all of your help Thanks!!!

The best tip I can now give you is not to adjust the pressure valve, once you get it to stay at 15 psi next time, simply use a magic marker to mark the widget #1 top and bottom, then only use the flame on the stove as your adjustment, for futrue cooks. It works much better and no steam burns. Sounds like you hav e it...Good job. the douche.

this scares the shit out of me. you guys out there buying old pressure cookers with no directions and no idea how they work. i did the same thing though. but i actually new how to run one.
save up buy an all american 915. it will be the best investment you ever made. and it comes with directions. the old pressure cooker that i bought only actually sterilized my grain once. and it ran out of water every time and burned the bottom of the jars.

I wish I could do that... a lot of my equipment is either improvised or substandard. I'm more broke than your averag person - try being a college kid with a grand a month in bills and you'll know what I mean, ha.
I just needed to figure out how to use the equipment - no need to buy a new AA when I have a perfectly good antique here. Thanks for the suggestion though.

A pressure canner is only as dangerous as the person operating it.
If someone is dumb enough to leave the flame running when the pressure is running too high perhaps they need to be blown up
