Very cool, Darryl. Especially with the original glass cylinder! I have not seen one of these with this big logo over here in Europe, although I...
A good way to remove rust will be phosphoric acid. It leaves also a protective layer of dark coloured iron phosphate ready for painting, but...
From the documents I have access to (and there are many;), thanks to Neil RIP and Jörg) there's evidence for the 824 from 1927 to 1933, and for...
I don't know about a Petromax lantern that uses a 122 x 122 mm globe. That's more usual for Hasag, old Aida, partly old Standard and similar...
From the catalogue pictures I assume that this hood belongs to an earlier version. There are at least two or three versions with a central screw...
According to the date stamp it should be a lantern from German production by Graetz in Altena/Westfalen. >>> edit: Reinhard our expert in...
A lantern for alcohol would also have the air restrictor and a jet with larger orifice as shown here at my Ditmar 509. Unfortunately I don't...
A very unusual lantern, and surely not easy to maintain. Congratulations to this interesting lantern, which can also be found in Neils PLC!
I also have a Ditmar lantern with this kind of burner. It seems that these lanterns were prepared to be fitted with rigid mantles. However, I...
This is certainly not the remnant of a HS burner, as the wick wheel shows. I would assume that these are the remains of a Kosmos burner, as...
That seems to be a piece of the gland packing of the eccentric shaft.
That is definitely the orifice size in 1/1000th of an inch (the unit is called "mil"). The formula is: x [mm] / 25.4 [mm/inch] * 1000 [mil/inch] =...
Hello @Ramon this is not a lamp, but a kerosene pressure stove with (noisy burner), where someone has fitted a glass bulb and a kind of chimney on...
Maybe it's that thread you meant? I did this once again with an 350 HK Alladdin Petromax with a completely rotted Globe cage and missing hood....
I think that there should be a Graphite packing inside the bushing which has hardened and needs to be removed, before the shaft of the needle...
Afaik the tanks of these lamps are filled with camel hair or horse hair. The mushroom thing is known to me as to be used as tinder fungus for...
Hello @Serge I was lucky enough to aquire another one of these rare Lanterns. Unfortunately, the handwheel is missing on mine. Would you be able...
I too think that it should be an Aluminum washer. It might be hard to get it out because of the relative hardness of the metal. Maybe it could be...
@Charlie321 could you add a picture with the generator and the squeezing lead washer removed, please? Sometimes it's hard to see when all is in place.
The last picture with the lead washer squeezing out shows another one that remained in place. The fitting soldered into the tank is only the...
