    A cute little gravity lamp, looking very much like a Radius 107 except for the angle of the lower control wheel.

    Indeed. The Marla is also similar, but Graetzin and Radius have a striking assemblance.
    I assume that Graetzin came first.

    Nice Bo! Like a marriage of a Radius 107 (upper half), and a Hasag (lower half). Have you had her running?

    Exactly, partly copied from 2 other models.
    I haven't try it but these are simple in design so I am sure it will work.

    One thing Bo, make sure the tube is filled with sand or at least some kind of "back fire" protection.
    I write sand because the Marla uses this. I am not sure if the Graetzin did have sand in it.

    I am not very fond of these lamps since mine made bubling sounds in the alcohol filled recevoir.

    Conny and all

    Wish you all good.

    Can you please share with me how to like this kind of lantern?
    It looks like my dad has the similar one, but I never know how to light it...

    I don't see any pump on the 107 so not sure how to build pressure...

    Many thanks
    Tony

    Tony: they don't need to be pressurized, they are alcohol, gravity fed lamps. You just pour alcohol on the tank for both, to preheat and to operate and the earth gravity does the job.
