@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...
It is impossible to pressurise an "open" vessel. The valve at the bottom of the pump tube is closed off by a needle valve. You need to open it by...
Common lanterns but very rare configuration. Awesome indeed. Good score.
That's a good looking lamp, I hope you can find the missing pieces.
I think I used radiater paint on a KL80 reflector, it works fine. You may wish to adjust the handle mounts on your lantern, the reflector...
Very nice. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
You could try graphited string as in this example KENNIONS Model Engineering Supplies - Graphite String and Packing. As well as a general internet...
As per title, it's an R1 radiator and in principle, they work the same as lanterns, the main difference is the mantle. At working pressure, the...
Early Vapalux 300. This one came on a 1943 Vapalux 300 with grey painted steel tank. According to Ian Ashton's book (Vapalux and Bialaddin...
as mentioned at 5:50 in this video [MEDIA] I've also had to clean out pink gunk from a couple of older Duel Fuel Coleman founts. Unleaded...
Hi Alec, I have it in mind that the 12 in. white enamelled reflector which could be supplied at extra charge as per 1950's advertisements, also...
Actually, it's 7:30pm. Last year we were delayed because of roadworks on the A1 and didn't arrive until 7:45 only to find the barrier was already...
@Sploosh33 The lower insect screen is upside down. If the lamp is fitted with a 606 vapouriser (standard on a 120A) there isn't enough room...
If it's a Coleman lantern you could leave the check valve in but after you've turned the fount to ensure an even coating of sealer, be sure to...
