@Sedgman Thank you for making these inroads towards a better understanding of these lamps. Despite, or thanks to, your detailed description, the...
Yes, or PM him with such. If only to find some answers to the questions that came up from this thread sofar. I admit being intrigued. Again. :mrgreen:
I guess the 'fun' would be to trace it down. Puzzles can be very rewarding.
David, pick up the phone and start making calls? And, if lucky, make a deal directly? Mind, I am well aware this is not everybody's joy and fun....
@BigStevie Oh dear, that might have given you dominating thoughts for a while, Stevie. In the world of classic (british) motorcycles, these...
Yes, makes your toes curl, innit? I mean, I would bend over to pick up 5 cents, let alone making a tidy sum of nos Tilley parts, plus making...
Has this highly captivating thread fizzled out?
That, or my eyes are failing me. Or my mind, as I wondered how you could end up with such a nice pair!
Thank you John for your reply; it had me worried that I might have offended you. As for this second lamp you show, I consider this also a clean,...

@ColinG , the unique (for W&B anyway) appearance of the ventilator and top of the E41 can perhaps be explained by the contacts with Petromax...
Nice one, Gary. In a short time you built up a nice lamp - and a personal bond as well! For those still looking for an E41, I bet there are...
John, this high level of tolerance, are you illustrating this with above lamp? In almost still 'factory finish' save the eeny weeny blemishes?...
As @podbros mentioned, the airtubes seem not standard X246 issue, or seem shortened, and this might be a factor in your flame colour. Too short a...
Too yellow usually means too rich in fuel, as oxygen supply is supposedly a constant in an open atmosphere. Could be the wrong fuel - still....
@Lucas Zie hier: [ATTACH] As stated, you can check the workings of a Tilley X246 - or any lamp with a central vapourizer like Bialaddin and...
Congratulations with this find, Gary; you must have been on the look-out for quite a while. I think finding anything of interest on your own merit...
This is not clear to me. Basecamp does seem to offer new parts made in Korea, next to used surplus. So unless one is the owner of a (rare) korean...
