I don't know how many of you suffer from the same issue I have with throwing things away, (it might be just me I guess) but following on from a previous 'discussion' (albeit obliquely) I thought I'd share some of the items I've collected that are either irreparable, dented or otherwise orphaned. My Solar 200cp 'almost' lantern. Various Vapalux/Bialaddin tanks/founts - most of them stress cracked, but some not. This one holds pressure and is waiting to be assembled back into a Bialaddin 310 A bunch of Tilley founts of varying condition... Some Coleman, Veritas and other bits and pieces... The Veritas control valve has the sheared off end of the generator jammed in it! Tried to get it out but haven't managed it yet. And some other random lantern bits and pieces. There's another small box that's got a selection of random parts but I'm sure you get the idea. If anyone needs any of these items for spares or repair, pm me and sure we can work something out. These last two lanterns are almost complete now... If anyone else wants to share some photos of their 'too good to Chuck' pile I'm sure others would find it interesting!
I thought it was just me that can never throw anything out with bialaddin half projects, tilleys and a stubborn petromax 829 that's trying to kill me with stress.
Sounds like he's coming to collect it already, right @ColinG . This is what years of accumulated cr@p looks like but I wouldn't get rid of it. Some tanks are split, some are dented, some are just awaiting restoration.
@Matthew92 that's certainly a shed full! My two boxes of assorted knackered lamp parts now no longer make me feel like a guilty hoarder!
Yep and the crimson vase is in the bottom of the box too. @BigStevie Perhaps not my proudest moment showing that lot off. Just one of those things though, as the collection grows, so does the spares department.
