My first 1550

It took some fettling to get this one going again. It was completely clogged up but with some patience, elbow grease, parts from the forum sponsor and - last but not least - some great advice from the nice people here the lamp is working again.
Unbelievably bright and fun because of the unusual preheater lever. Also pimped an old lamp box to make it a nice set.

It looks fantastic, well fettled.
Mate, we need to see the money shot’s pictures.

It's a well fettled lantern. Please upload some pictures of It when running.

By popular demand the moneyshot. I'll add an other one after dark.

 

Nice light up

 

Well done @Emiel
She’s working great and I do like the shade.
Cheers

Excellent, she is working well - the Optimus will look good in the tent.

 

A lucky find!
