    Hi, just joined but been reading a few posts over the past week or so and very helpful they were so thanks.

    I've recently inherited my dads old Tilley lamp and the Optimus 1550/ 500 CP. I remember fondly of these being used back in the 80's for night fishing and camping.

    I was going to do a whole post but as I'd done one elsewhere (on a car forum) I thought it would be easier and quicker if I just link what I've done so far here. I hope that's OK?

    Thanks for reading/ looking and any tips would be more than welcome.

    Lee.

    I wouldn't go that far, cars are my first hobby lol
    Certainly a nice thing to get these lamps going again though :)
