    I have an 868a in gray; I've never seen one in this color before, I think it's quite rare. I have some photos.

    In my region, we can find some 868a models, but we have difficulty finding the globe and the ceramic element. I have a gray one and a black one, but I'm still missing these items. I liked the brass ceramic element model, but the globe is still hard to find.

    Ireneu,

    Dear Brazilian neighbour! It's nice to meet you. Could you please write in English in this forum instead? You can also use a translator. I understand from your message the following:

    You found that 868a there, and its colour is unusual. You are looking for a glass globe and a clay burner too. Those parts are scarce.

    I will PM

    That's a good looking lamp, I hope you can find the missing pieces.

    Ireneu,
    I sent you a private message some weeks ago.I met someone who made a 868a burner for me. Do you want me to ask him if he can make another one for you?. You let me know.
    He can also lathe mix chambers.
    A glass globe (glasglocke) is very hard to find although but I was lucky enough to find one. They are like hen's teeth. They are sold out at hytta.

    Take care!

    Good evening Adolfo
    Yes, I am interested in the glass and porcelain, I will need 2 pieces of each. I didn't receive your message and I don't know if you can share the contact information through the website 5541984985692. I contacted Hytta as Marc suggested, but they really don't supply the product anymore. As I told you, I have 2 868A lamps and I would like to keep them original. I have several Petromax 834, 835, and 835A lamps, I have Aida 245 and 244 lamps, I have a blue Graetzin lamp, I have several lanterns such as the 882 which are said to be rare, and the 816, 820, 822, and 887B table lamps. At the end of the year I'm taking a trip to Chile, a great opportunity to meet up. Best regards, Irineu
