Agreed Stainless Steel replica guard for £20? Sounds reasonable to me. I'll have one! Sid.
Surely if you'd put time and effort into finding a poorly listed item then you would keep the discovery to yourself until after the auction ends....
Agreed. The selling price is set by the 2 highest bidders. Everyone else is irrelevant. Sid.
Can't fault the seller for trying. If I owned it and could get £1600 I wouldn't hesitate in parting company with it. Can't see it ever happening...
Lovely paint job. Wish I get a finish like that from a spray can. Just needs one of Steve's hood caps to finish it off.
OK I'll fess up. As a yoof I did 'liberate' an X246B from the local scout troupe while nobody was looking. Not something I can say I'm proud of...
If it's a user I'd definitely swap the tanks. No point risking the current tank failing and leaking paraffin everywhere. Sid.
Cool, the engine started first time but it took a couple of attempts for the geezer in the flat cap to get his pipe fired up!! :lol: :D/

I think the sellers claim that he's 'Bringing history back to life' is somewhat erroneous too. I suspect it's the exact opposite. I doubt the new...
Too true. But some of us have much deeper pockets than others!!
I'm sure I wasn't the only one to see these on the Bay. Just like buses, you wait forever, then two come along at once. So why did this go for...
Many thanks Dan, It does indeed have a 'V' stamped on the tip. I've ordered a new one so should be able to get it up and running soon. Cheers, Sid
Thanks guys, Been trying to get this running over the weekend. All is well apart from the tip is missing from the pricker. Can anyone help to...
I bought a job lot of lanterns a while back and was suprised to find this amongst them. According to the label on the collar it's an Akron Model...
There is a great picture of the inside of a blown Tilley tank in [url=http://0flo.com/index.php?threads/3634 thread. It clearly shows how the...
Steve, You can get those pleated plastic shades on eBay. They are NOS but don't come with the frame. If you fancy making a frame you can find...
