    I bought this lamp some time ago but I received it just today. It was expensive but as we don't know of another example (I asked Neil if he did know), I had to buy it.

    Poor condition but restorable. The pump was changed and bad soldered to the tank, burner is missed, generator bent, pricker rod and needle missed too and cage in very poor condition. Fortunately, all missed pieces are almost identical to local Bull Dog lanterns, of which I own two:
    On the last picture against a Px 822 just to compare size.

    WOW Juan, you hit jackpot finding this. :D/
    Just finding a tablelamp is tough but a Aida is king.
    The lamp should restore easy and looks nice wihtout any bad damage - but the dent of time and it is nice for you that it uses common spareparts.
    Welldone and thanks for sharing.
