Thanks Jacob :thumbup:
Jacob, It would take quite awhile for the steel wool to rust within the generator tube. Especially so if the lantern is in frequent use. Yes, it...
Hi Jacob, Brass or bronze wool would work fine. So are steel or stainless steel wool and braiding. The idea is not merely to conduct or distribute...
Nice flame.
If I remember correctly, they are. However, its still better to seek a second opinion about that first. Its been awhile since the last time I...
The current production footvalve parts aren't the same as those made in the 1960s. I would believe yours would appear like these:- [ATTACH]...
Fine quality lantern. A pity such lamps aren't found in greater numbers elsewhere around the World.
After removing all the additional lead washers, you can also try assembling the vaporizer without the washers and then check the gap distance...
That's a good looking one after the restoration. Making a heirloom lantern run again after all these decades must have given a real satisfaction.
Very nice custom tool. Amazing what you do with the right tooling and machining equipment.:thumbup:
For niche, very small scale, hobbyist-styled applications, I'd say yes. For large-scaled, general lighting, very unlikely. Probably not a chance...
That is a very good looking Petromax. The collar is also smooth but not the "sicke" design. In my opinion, the Petromax from the 1950s somehow...
This picture shows that the vaporizer seems to be protruding a little too high above the inner hood's flange:[ATTACH] Check the vaporizer again...
A nice find. I've never seen that variation on a Chinese-Petromax before.
A few more close-up pictures on the hood/j-tube assembly might be helpful for all to see what exactly is preventing you from adjusting the air gap...
Certainly not common elsewhere. You'd need a glass globe too.
Nice meal. I love sweet potatoes. That lantern is awesome.
I watched that as well...and a whole lot of horrors from the 80s too. Childhood memories, they almost always remain permanently etched in our minds.
I watched the movie when I was young enough to actually believe whatever playing on the screen was real.:lol: It was certainly much scarier in...
Is that movie 'The Thing'? Watched that awesome horror many years ago as a kid. Pretty little lantern.
Separate names with a comma.
