    Given a basic wash and new seals, I left the tank / feed tube seal alone, time to light....

    @KAB now that’s a nice lamp, well done. I haven’t come across one of these in the wild yet, so I’m not very green with envy...... well just a little. OK, A LOT then. :mrgreen:
    Seriously looks really good.
    Cheers

    About the only Tilley (+FL10 I would think) which will be sure to leak if the pricker/control cock is not shutting off properly.
