    Hi All,

    New to this forum and have been enjoying perusing it this afternoon! I’ve just purchased a Bialaddin 300X in need of a fettling, along with a Tilley X246B. I’ve purchased some washers from the Fettlebox and am looking forward to restoring these two classics back to working order. Shall post some pictures in due course. I think this may become a habit .....

    Welcome from Queensland Australia.
    There’s a wealth of friendly knowledge and experience here on this forum. All you have to do is ask. Remember, the only dumb question is the question you don’t ask.
    Looking forward to your posts and of course your photos of your lamp experiences and the “Money Shots” (a lantern’s first light after restoration)
    Enjoy
    Cheers
    Pete

    Thanks all. Jeremy I've just happened to watch your video on Tilley servicing which was of great help. I'll try and post some pictures.

    Welcome to the forum. Two lamps are a breeding pair, hope you’ve got a big shed!
