Thanks for the advice Henry. I think I really need to learn how to solder :roll:
:thumbup: Thanks for the replies gents. The problem I have is that I have never done any soldering and don’t have the means to do any. My...
I started today fettling another lamp but it bettered me for now so to cheer myself up I decided to have a look at this 300X. In no way is it...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Finally decided to have a go at fettling this AL620 that I got a while back but unfortunately it failed the dunk test :rage: All...
:thumbup: Thanks Jeff. I’m very happy with how it’s turned out.
@BigStevie It’s definitely a favourite with me too Stevie and even more so after it’s cleaned up well. :) [ATTACH]

Thanks Henry. The gauge glass is badly cracked and it doesn’t appear to be working so I’ll keep an eye out for a replacement and the gas tape...
Here is a new to me R55. This is just as it came to me - just added fuel, fitted a spare vaporiser (the one fitted had melted beyond recognition)...

I’ve been given a lovely lamp and I have managed to work out who made it but was wondering if anyone would know how to date it. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Sorry @Rickylee I’m afraid I don’t. Hopefully you’ll find one soon :thumbup:
@Rickylee @Fireexit1 thanks guys everything else seems ok so a new jet is the next logical step. The J tube did change colour but I think this was...
