    That's an incredibly nice restoration, Cider :thumbup: :thumbup:

    Hard to believe it's the same lamp! What year is it?

    I'd love to find a source for the decals.

    Your air tubes doesn't look correct.
    Are they from a lantern?

    Hrllo Christer, the extensions for the air tubes are sitting on the work top, Jeff.

    thanks everyone. was a nice simple restoration though. nothing like one member did on here. but I'm very happy with the result as its not somethin I do every day.. :-)

    air tubes were not on that was all as said, was still had jobs to finish like fuel gauge and align the top better...

    I want decals Dan as well just need to find the art work or something
