My first Tilley is Alive ! 1 minute video

Thanks for all the help guys !!
@John …… Thank you very much for the Tilley mantles, gaskets, shipping……..incredibly generous and uncommon.
I work slow but it’s running now…….not sure about “ restore “ or just use it.
The mantle is crazy on these compared to Colemans…….a real PITA to get on there !!!!
I have a 1 minute video of it going……and a few pics at the end.
@John you are the man !!

 

Nice work, @Konabill.


Cheers

Tony

 

@Konabill

On a second look, is the lantern leaking at the join between the tank, the locating bush, and the control cock?

@Tony Press
Yes, it was leaking from place possible……….. @John sent me every seal to completely stop the flow of fuel.
I should’ve been more clear in my description.
Good eye BTW………

 

I think it looks good as it is; the tank has a nice even patina to it.

 

Well done, it's just a minor leak and easily fixed.
Congratulations on your first Tilley fettle.

 

It's progressing.

 

Looks great!

 

Looks great, well done the leak is an easy fix.
Now the next lantern......

Enjoy
