Tilley X246A

My first X246A.....Very bright! Pulsing a wee bit though.... Edited....Pulsing stopped after a few minutes

 

That looks to be a good find and with the deep globe as well !

 

Looks very good. Also good that the pulsing stoped - some never seem to without a vapouriser change. pressure matters - but you have an indicator on that lantern.

 

@Fireexit1 Yes pulsing stopped after 5 minutes, I can only guess that something slightly blocked could have cleared itself. Those indicators are not very reliable I believe? I still count the pumps!

 

I think I learn to trust them on an individual basis - but all of them seem to tell the truth or thereabouts...

 

@Johnny19
She looks to be a nice example and as @podbros said, with the deep glass as well.
Enjoy

That’s doing the business Johnny, well fettled.

 

Well done let the Tilley shine on and on.
Another Tilley saved from the scrap man.

 

Thanks everyone. I'm getting to know more and more about Tilley lamps now.

 

That does the job.
