Ah, I have seen such a bolted lantern - I imagined that it was the result of an owner's lack of patience in a fettling project :) And bitterness...
There are quite many eBayers who stick to one particular courier - and in many cases this leads to shipping costs that are unnecessarily high. For...
You are right :) But every time I see such a mess I feel urged to try to make some kind of order out of it :oops: In the case of Tilley it is...
Well, David, it might be possible to detach them if you really want to, but some of the older ones do not look like if they were meant for that -...
Yes, true, they have made sure that we could get an interesting hobby :) I am a little surprised to hear about the handles - I thought that the...

Where all models made by both Kopsen and Nettleman?
Hmm.. I wonder what happened here - I do not have one from 76. That would have been great, though, for helping clearing up the matters :)

Yes, I was talking about kerosene or other liquid fuel lamps - because otherwise they would not be pressure lamps ;) And new development in this...
Matty, I agree. I would say that doing a little product development couldn't hurt either - most pressure lamps of today have basically not changed...
Okay, now the Vapalux website is down again. For good reason, I would say, as it wasn't finished.
Hmm... that small part should not tie up a lot of money for the manufacturer, so re-advertising the model around 7 years ago would probably not...
Then they didn't ask the engineer to test the 150 CP version, as this has been "in approval testing and final safety check" for two years now, as...
