hi all,im new to this and looking for advice.please.i have just been given a tilley 361xa lamp and im wondering.does the vapouriser stem need a seal to join it to the burner?this one leaks through the gap where they both join.if i need one where can you purchase one please?.any advice ??
361XA is not a Tilley model. That is the date code for March 1961 and almost certainly means you have a Model X246 maybe a month before Tilley changed the model number to X246A. Yes there is a thin rubber seal where the vaporiser screws into the valve block. Has to be thin or the pricker won't work. You probably need a spares kit which you can buy from Base Camp but there are experienced collectors up around where you are and maybe one of them can help. ::Neil::
Hi Marty Welcome !, but you best tread carefully around here my friend, This stuff is pretty contagious and the only known solution is to collect more lanterns Good luck with reviving your tilley
