    Hello I pick this Kayen lamp up today I was just buying it for spare parts as it seemed the fount was a ride off.
    I decided to give it a go as the control cock valve was totally off centre and very poorly soldered as well as the bail lugs beening bent, as too was the pump pushed in, other damage as well.
    I tried my best and are happy with the results, I have changed the hood for a better one, but its a different colour, speckled green, I hope you like her as much as I do, so her are some photos of what I have done some before and after shots, no money shot sorry.

    Well saved, a lot of folk would have passed it by.

    It's cleaned up very nicely. :thumbup:
    Hard to preconise it from the original.
