    Hello to all lamp enthusiasts and collectors. I'm paul, i'm 34, i live in Norwich where i work as a chef. In my spare time i like to find and restore tilley and vapalux lamps. I started off restoring the basic models like the x246a/b and vapalux 300x. Now i've found some rareties that i'm working on such as the tilley pl53, tilley wall lamp and a tilley il47 which i'm trying to restore to its original look.
    I have quite a backup of spares for tilley/ vapalux lamps and i'd be willing to exchange/ sell these as i need a part or two for the projects i'm working on.
    Hope to hear from people on here soon!
    regards paul :)

    If you do not post pictures, it is not as fun.

    Hi, sorry i dont have any of the stepped globes, i sold my 320 a while back, i've only got straight sided globes left. I'm looking for 3 brass air buttons for a pl53 and gallery springs for another project. Glad to know some members are close, could be handy later!
