1943 Primus 394

This is a lamp I have had for a long time. When I bought it, it had been converted to run on kerosene. I have now converted it back to run on alcohol. This was done by drilling out an old 991 jet to 0.25mm and making a new cleaning needle to suit. A restrictor for the air intake was added and a few attempts found that a 4.5mm hole in the restrictor worked well. This is the /2 version with the full opal globe and the top cap is a reproduction. The date mark is AH 1. The pictures of it lit are both with and without a flash.

What a spectacular lamp. Well done!

 

A grand old lamp indeed!

 

Splendid piece and reconversion. .

 

Fantastic lamp! I wish those were readily available here in the US.

 

Quite a graceful lamp, guess the globe alone would be worth a pretty penny.

 

That's really nice

Thanks, Nils. That’s a very fine lamp.

Thanks for the comments all. I'm quite pleased with the result myself.

I always like to use the argument that alcohol is a sustainable fuel.

 

Nice work on a beautiful lamp, Nils .
