    ..Hi Stormie!

    Just to say that more pics of the whole item will help also?...Maybe some more info, like does the Gas Head inside the reflector unscrew?...
    Pics are always good anyway.. ;)

    thanks for the reply and im not sure if it does unscrew as the item is on the evil bay ;the pictures i sent are the only ones i have ;the seller really ins't very help full with a few questions i have asked ;less i can see it first hand im as lost as you are ;i don't think i will pursue it really 'i just thought it was different ; the burner is held in with screws so im sure i has been modified from a kerosene to a gas type but i could be wrong as i search i can not find one like this one ;

    as in the pictures here you can see that the back side has been cut open to allow the fitting to be placed ;so im sure it has been modified ;sad really to do something like this check these pictures thanks again

    ....Ah, sorry man thought it was an item you owned

    yourself, didn't realise it was online somewhere...

    :doh: ......

    Looks like the access hole was cut in, er. 'haste'

    :shock:

    I suppose the asking price prohibits the repair

    costs??... Maybe useful for some spares if not too

    pricey???... :-k

    thanks jeff 'odd i can't even find one of these types searching the web ;i think it's neat to have 1 that runs on kerosene plus gas but really a waste if one is not sure it's factory made as in the pictures; plus the fact how would you mount it on a fl-6 tank as the gas fitting would rub against the top of the tank;

    i was able to find one on the bay and really what a difference 'plus everything is there but a little quite steep in the price;the burner assembly is there as with any model FL-6 not a fitting and nozzle for a mantle ;though the company might had many different styles ;thanks everyone for your feed back.

    It's a different beastie, but might some of the components from these be involved?

    Well for me it's just the head of a FL6 which is "modified" to hold a gas fixture.
    Nothing of value on that thing.
    Only value would be a good reflector but even that is modified.
