I can't remember how long ago this was, but I've just found the image on an old memory disc:- The camera was my first digital one and was failing rapidly at the time. From front to back:- Tilley OH574, Bialaddin 310, Vapalux E41, Bialaddin 315 (not lit), Tilley AL8 and I can't see/remember the other two but I think that's an X246 Guardsman at the back and a Vapalux 300 hanging from the front of the shed...
Aye, I was a bit more enthusiastic back then, whenever it was. I rarely, if ever, move lamps on (which is why I've got so many! ) so I will have them all somewhere. I even know where the OH574 is! They seem to be quite uncommon so I suppose Tilley didn't sell very many. I haven't seen one for sale for years. I'm sure it'll come in very useful if ever I want to examine the roof of a railway tunnel...
Hey David! I live here in Saskatchewan, Canada. and i was looking for heaters on craigslist and found a OH-574 (will be shipped monday). Right away when i seen the handle i knew it was different from a R1, R55, as no heat-shield. He wanted $50 Canadian, so i searched for info on this & found Jeff's posts on Here & CCF and yours here. I take it is some what rare to find one in the UK let alone Canada. Mine doesn't have the CH1 hood & globe, but talked to a guy named tilleypaul66 on Ebay and helped with some info on the CH1 & about the OH-574
Hello Tom and welcome. A nice find. I hope you can find the necessary parts to bring it back to life. Henry.
Thanks Henry, appreciated! I am new to Tilley's, i have a x246 i found here locally. But mainly have Coleman products since NA. When i talked to Tilleypaul, he said he has another hood & globe, so once i have the cash i got some of the parts! Cheers!
Haha yeah after he said he's got a couple & could dig one out.. figured he was a big collector, & seller. lol I am trying to find one on CCF, since better chance one for a little less if it's in North America. But glad people know Paul here!
