Yep. The older dried out ones are doomed to be cracked then. Me myself so much prefer the newly made. Thicker leather and supple out of the box.
Yeah- I am probably overthinking it. Was thinking that dried out leather will never have that supple feeling back to it once its completely dried out.
Thanks Tony. I had good overnight soak with all of my un-used cups (neatsfoot oil). The one that I need is soaking in mineral oil now. The rest of...
I got a few excellent leather cups I would like to survive a few years in my fettle box. I also got a few 60-70 years old NOS cups that are...
Darn! Thanks Nils. You are always very responsive. Thanks for being around. Truly appreciated indeed.
If I can´t use them on the Radius 119 would my Optimus 300s would be a suitable fit? If no on my questions I will pass them vaporizers on.
A year ago or two I hold of a couple of NOS vaporizers. On their jets I read 103/28 so I guess they are- well for 103s. I got a couple of Radius...
Hi, Fred Kunz is not responding and apparently there is a new kid on the block called Rob (something). I tried to e-mail him with zero success. Is...
Great! Thanks Christer. Well I start with the Aidas I and I will place an order right away. Just to avoid customs with things coming from UK. Will...
It kicked out fine without a wick and I remember that Nils said that a couple of years ago as well. With that said there must a have been a good...
Gents- thanks for reaching out. I am bit embarrassed.. I missed to tighten the lower end of the vapouriser. While at it I put some copper paste on...
I got this lantern and after a solid clean in acetone and other actions I got it lit. Used Veritas two-tied mantles. Somewhat yellowish I would...
Thanks! Yes- the Preston was really choked. I managed to get most of the muck out but I suspect there is still a (thin) ring of stuff which I...
Beats me. I have cleaned several loops with my humble butan torch. When I heated this one up it almost lit. I guess some heavy duty stuff is...
I got a splendid 1932-1933 recently. Exterial it looks grand but the burner parts are about the worst I have ever seen. The rod was of course...
For sure an eye catcher! I am in awe. Congratulations!
I put some blue Locite on the threading and let it cure over night. That did it! It passed the water test. I have a proper seal. Thanks again gents!
Thanks a lot for your kind advices. I will try either Locite or teflon tape. I’ll get back for report. This should be an easy fix but I was not...
Thanks George! A washer in aluminum? Will that seal? Not sure what I should look for in the stores.. If you could post random pic of an example I...
My bad altogether! I was too eager in posting. The leaking is from the opposite of the vaporiser from where the arrow points. Here is a pic from...
