    Had to go into the big City yesterday to collect a lamp for a fellow member and on the way home called in to see someone who said they had a few lamps. I didn’t buy all of them though think I had a pretty good haul.

    Awesome haul!

    If you find yourself with too many harps, let me know :mrgreen:
    I'd like to return one to the family home, I have our KL80 but its harp must have been left behind and rotted away.

    Wow! The donut lamp would be a spectacular find on its own but with all the rest, it's a treasure trove!

    What a spectacular find!

    Looks like you'll just have to go back then. :)

    Nice to see a Primus among the lot.

    Yes Nils, this is my first Primus, it’s model 1081. I haven’t had a right look at it yet to see what might be missing. The mica globe has some damage I can see, also a nut missing off the top of the hood.

    A 1081 is a nice model to have. Not that common and they usually work very well. There are some good images in the gallery, especially by Christer, to compare with.

    I would faint if I saw so many old lamps and heaters like that in one hit. Good score.

    @James K I left behind mainly part R1s, part pl53s, bialaddins missing their globes and bashed tanks of various kinds. I think I definitely bought the best of the lot bu some of you gents may disagree.
