Is the cleaning needle still intact ? I ask because I think the "thingy" would have had a fine wire attached at the end for cleaning the jet and...
@AndrewA air intake tube at the top. The 6 holes are actually exit holes and should be at the bottom. When the burner is installed, the top of the...
@podbros no, it's for paraffin only. Even if it could be run on alcohol, the cost would have been prohibitive, at least here in the U.K. where...
Definitely had ceramic "radiants. I have seen one of these in the flesh but it was a long time ago, certainly before I had a digital camera and if...
@andrewdwork your Anchor 950 is a copy of a Petromax lantern, this link will provide all the necessary information needed to service, strip down /...
@Simon Foxxx the valve washer for X246B is different to the X246. See images X246 [ATTACH] In these two images for X246B, you can see that...
Welcome @Khushboo the Wells lamps are good quality. Have you had it burning ?
Grit / sand blasting is O.K. on steel parts but for aluminium, brass and nickel plate, I prefer to use glass beads / ground glass. It may take a...
Also, check the needle hasn't come loose. There seems to be a lot of plating missing off the hood for such a young lamp.
Mmm, why just the 169's I wonder, after all the only difference between a 169 and a 606 is the length of the steel tube. :-k As far as I know,...
Same here, plus the fact that pressure is much cheaper than meths / alcohol. :)
@pete sav glad you you found it interesting Pete. I had to experiment quite a bit with the number of pump strokes before lighting the pre-heater...
I'd say it works best with the 500 cp jet, but it does work with others too. Second life for Butterfly
@Conny C Very interesting. Thank you.
Phoebus burner yes but compare the tank, filler cap and wood handle on this Standard table lantern Standard No.3060
Yes. It's beginning to look like I "adjusted" it too much.
Are you 100% sure? I've found the 60 degree thread angle of BSCY (British standard Cycle) is a better fit. In the past I've run a 1/2" BSB die...
Why? If you can solder the baseplate back into the tank, surely you can solder the two parts of the pressur indicator back together.
I remember them too, not least because they were "the wrong way round". Normally, the largest duck was at the bottom of the flight and they got...
Ahh, it sounds like the check valve (non-return valve) is leaking. This could be because of varnish-like residue of old fuel or debris e.g. a...
