This is a Corvid-19 survivor... in the days before lockdown in the UK we had 'self isolation' the vulnerable and old were asked to stay at home.... so they did gardening and shed tidying..... and went to the waste sites. This lamp was recovered from the scrap bin during this time. Unfortunately the public didn't get the idea of 'social distancing' and kept bumping into each other so the sites were closed. Now we're on lockdown I still have to attend work, but no Scouts, rugby or First Responder stuff to do in the evening.... but I can fettle, so here's the first. This is the lamp as rescued A few hours to dismantle and polish using Autosol and some rag and she's come up shining nicely.
Fueled and lit. Unfortunately the filler cap seals are hard so it only ran for a couple of minutes before the pressure escaped
That's definitely the save of the day, well done. You have restored it very well and as the money shot shows, she's a worker, and very well too. Cheers Pete
