I thought of another. I wish I could find a picture to support this - it is true. In the 1980s there was a scanning radio receiver on the market...
Isn't this all down to tolerances in the machining? If the back drill process goes too deep it leaves the dome very thin. Easy to make the jet...
I have a beautiful engraved Zippo saying 1997 Hong Kong Day of Retrun. When I noticed I started back to the seller thinking knock off!! I noted...
I think that's different. C2H6O Ethanol - main constituent of Meths and probably Bio-Ethanol. CH3CHOHCH3 - Isopropyl Alchohol.
Isn't rubbing alchohol Isopropyl alchohol? I'm pretty sure that is what I have here. I seem to remember that it burns with a yellow flame....

I have a Hipolito H502 which is stamped on the base 0858. As I read the foregoing that would suggest it is week 08 1985. Am I right? Given...
@isfuzzy - putting out the challenges!! :)
Thanks @Mackburner. I knew I had seen an earlier post from you about it. I went looking in the ref library but I could not find it. It is a very...
I think once you have done this modification the jet will last almost forever. Afterwards the pricker wire and the jet have about the same...
Thanks so that's explained. Sorry to drag the thread off topic. There's always the open forum for more nice pictures!
Sorry don't know, but damn fine birthday presents you get!
"The Scott Partnership - The Scott Partnership" Now has a different phone number but sports the same logo. I think I much prefer what they were...
