    Nice! That’s in very good condition for an early Aladdin 1A. Did you repaint the tank?

    Cheers

    Thanks, Dean. That paintwork is in excellent condition. I do see a few scuffs but it’s come up very nicely.

    Cheers

    Are the vaporizers modified from, let say Petromax build, items?
    They look modified to fit a smaller tank fitting.

    The Aladdin 1A is a close copy of the Radius 119.

    This is the Aladdin 1A setup:

    It does look similar to a Primus or Radius.
    By the way, I like the way they attach those vaporizers to the pricker control blocks.
    Similar means could be seen on some of those CGA fittings for attaching pressure regulators onto compressed gas tanks. i.e., compressed fuel gases for welding/heating and cutting purposes.

    That's a real beauty! I was lucky to locate a 1A here in the states last year.
