Until now,I was unaware that Solex also manufactured lanterns with an output of 500HK-and even equipped with a rapid preheater. This preheater,the...
Estelar was a Spanish brand.It was founded by Artur Klaebisch,the general importer for Petromax in Spain (Klaebisch-Petromax ).When the supply of...
@medicmark Unfotunately, one cannot say that something is original and therefore must be correct. The dimensions of the components have changed...
@Tim Read They turned out very nicely :thumbup::thumbup: There are at least two other versions of the Hipolito H-502.One is bright nickel-plated...
It only works satisfactorily with a 500 cp jet and a 500 cp mantle.The operating instructions indicate that a mantle is also used during heating...
It's likely that the carburetor foot valve #196 never opens properly because the valve rod #191 is too short. However,it could also be that the...

It's a matter of honor.You don't abhanden a sick Petromax.
@Gabriel Abe Welcome in the forum :thumbup: The complete pump,including the pump cover , is not from Petromax. Parts from current production...
Yes , that's what I thought. Serious errors , untruths and inaccuracies are often cemented in literature. That could be case here too. Perhaps...
@JEFF JOHNSON The manufacturing period for the last two burners mentioned does not seem logical for me. Logically,it would make sense to me that...
Thanks a lot,Jeff,that was very helpful :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: Is the brass burner from 1931 perhaps the oldest Super Aladdin burner ever ?...
