i will need spare parts for this lamp. can somebody help me just bought this one in the shape you can see on the picture missing a lot, but i guess an unique piece
Didier, Lux are very complicated lamps with a lot of parts, and among many, you miss the most essential one; the entire burner with its cleaning needle mechanism. It won't be easy to get hold of one of those. And all the gear around it, preheater bowls, windshields etc. The glass won't be easy either. And it looks like you have several holes in the kerosene tank, so I assume the entire tank is pretty rusty and thin. How is the air tank? Those are much thicker steel, so I assume it's fine, and the pressure regulator is serviceable, so will most likely work. I guess that if you manage to find a burner, the rest will be worth fixing, but a donor tank is probably better than soldering up this one. Here's how the burner look like: This is the windshield-cleaning needle mechanism-preheating arrangement which all sit around the burner illustrated above
That's going to be a tough one. I'm sure the parts are still out there. Since you already found this in your area, chances are, you might find more of them later on.
waw, thanks a lot to share this information. i will start with the glasses. and probably later find and search spare parts for it
eveything is possible. just have to find the right person on the right time. in this case the right company...
made from base, not from existing glass... curved like new... friday they will be placed and finished i will post pictures on monday ok. if you need glasses i can made them
Because of the missing burner and rusty tank, perhaps? These burners are very hard to find. Better to make a lamp useful than hiding it in a storage somewhere, and this is one way to make it work. Didier, well done! Good thing that you have a very high ceiling there. Otherwise you hardly would be able to use this giant indoor.
