Just a quick question: anybody here from Unst? Family member is there on holidays.
Here is an open cut of the pressure tit: Origin: Pressure Lamp Catalogue of Neil McRae. [ATTACH]
But you know something about lamps and all lamps have a knob/hand wheel which operates a valve (open/close) or moves a rod for nozzle cleaning....
Why do you think this could happen?
First pre-heat, then pressurize.
Heat or ice can certainly damage the pressure tit. I would bent the leg a little so that the cage is in the right position and leave the tank dent...
I am not sure but I guess that the Px900 was not designed in times that ISO-metric system was used in Germany. I guess (again) that early lamps...
Also not true. But the issue is that once "new" metric jets are used the threads are "ruined".
@Tony Press , it doesn't look as the original though.
I don't know what it is but I know what it is not: an original real Petromax. Seems you live in Germany so finding a real Petromax should not be...
The 90Hk for the Petromax 900 is different, not much but it is. Once a 150cp is forced in, it is ruined. I guess it is not metric but a gas...
Welcome: What is a Swedish made 1082?
You should not be concerned but care full is always good. I have several geiger counters and I am in the process of making a reference chart...
Just a warning: I bought 250cp clay burners some time ago and guess what the amount of threads was different. So make 100% sure you get the right...
I would order at base camp. Any 250cp parts will fit. Old parts are the best. If the clay head is cracked in two piece that match well, you may...
You should look for a chandelier Blanchard. These are rare and it will take a while before you have one. This keeps the "need" for more low.... ;-)
Maybe it it better to conclude that this is not a leak. Like Reinhard says: there is no valve. This also means you don't pump before the vaporiser...
I think that design wise the idea that these lanterns would last 100years was not included in the specs. So fabrication methods, type of solder...
Don't think so. Both compromise the strength of the pressure vessel. Issue is that due to the pressure the bottom will move, not a problem, but...
very nice and complete. I always wonder if the heads should hang not completely level. Is this intended or simply age and weight related?
Separate names with a comma.
