Ah I know this. Try gentle heat, to soften the paint glue. Make sure not to kill the burner by applying force to the wick mechanism. This happens...

Martin is right you have to force the screw out.
Strange that nobody is asking what you do when you set the lantern alight. Outside without mantle and globe, pre heating is almost none existing.

One should never run a mantle lantern WITHOUT a mantle and a globe. The mantle and glass are both essential parts of a lantern. When the globe is...
HK jets are per definition old jets. As for threads, there was a change from to the metric at some point in time (SI-standards). I am pretty sure...
Just some thoughts: - there is a difference between CP and HK. - there is no relation between HK /CP and the thread size/pitch New jets can have...
The reason for that is that the thread of the jet doesn't match with the thread of the vaporiser. With force anything can be "fixed" but I doubt...
Good light up Henry. That set up, with two Swiss hospital stands, looks familiar ;-)
As for light output I would stick by a lux meter. Comparishment with a picture or eyeball may not be accurate.
