Not what the site is really about. At least get it working and show some pics before going for the sale
Go back and take the Primus too! If only just to be able to compare and appreciate the different engineering solutions. Primus lamps are on...
You are doing it right. Just need to set it up in such a way, that you can gently tap the shaft out and not damage the threads. Use a vice or a...
Love this, but have to admit to being a bit more low-brow. Can you give us the 'Dogs playing poker' by lamplight please.
Take off your control wheel, and then unscrew the nut behind it and take it off the shaft. Inside that nut will be the remains of the old seal,...

If your ultrasonic cleaner is big enough, you can fill with water, then put your small parts in a jar and fill the jar with citric acid. That way...
