Noteworthy is that this is only the 2nd one ever found that uses the 237 generator.
Over the years I've had quite a number of brass founts with pin-holes due to corrosion from inside, possibly caused by water acting on impurities...
I made one for my 1001 from a 2000 ml pyrex lab glass beaker. I polished off the white printing and then cut off the top and bottom. I've been...
An excellent find and a fine restore, Martin!
It is yours to do with as you please, but if it were mine I would restore it as close to factory finish as I could. That said, a brushed metal...
Yes, thanks for posting the pdf. Was looking for it the other day but Doron Papo's website no longer exists.
Perhaps over time we could build up a database here for reference purposes.
Hi, does anyone here perhaps have these PMS codes/numbers? To start with, Coleman ventilator dark green and Seafoam green, and then any others...
At the very least you would need to pump up the fount and sustain pressure for a short while to be able to check for leaks in the fount. The test...
A very decent oldie, with the kidney shaped metho cup. The 249 pricker rod and needle is the same as the 201, 241 and 214. The gas tip (jet) is...
It is a common No. 4 size glass globe, as used on Coleman 214, 282, 286, 288, 339 and almost all Petromax 350-500 cp clones.
Sunflame 104. It has the Flameboy logo on the fount.
The plan seems to have worked! I pumped up the fount to 1.5 bar after making the corrugations and the bottom popped into shape and stayed there....
I see that my Optimus 200P and 300P have flat bottom plates. Before I try to remove the bulged bottom plate I'll try to hammer concentric circles...
@Rustytank , the bottom plate of the fount is designed with a slight outwards bulge, but with this one, the plate is deformed and the lead seam of...
There is a small brass ferrule captured by an indentation in the generator tube. If you anneal the area of the indentation, you can knock the...
This week I got a very well used little Optimus 100N, complete except for the globe. To my great disappointment, I immediately noticed that the...
That makes logical sense, @MYN . With the stem seal being a given, let it be seen to be leaking before rather than after light-up.
What @bp4willi said; the 220 gen tube, a brass or copper spiral and in addition the needle and gas tip from a 200A. The original 220 gas tip will...
