New lamp. Bialaddin 3??

I got a new lamp today. Does anyone know what type of bialaddin it is, or is it a mixture?
I haven't lit it yet as i'm still in the middle of undoing it all and putting new washers in.

 

It's an early Vapalux 300. pretty rare lamp with that heat deflector.....Paul

 

Thanks Paul, good to know. Its a bit scruffy, has a biggish dent in it and the top's got enamel flaking off but no holes so thats good.

 

Had yourself a fruitful afternoon there Jane and your proving to be 'Hands on' type of gal with your fettling too

Well done on your acquisition

You are partially to blame for this Longilily.
I have to admit, i've had a bit of help from my son on this one as I wasn't able to unscrew some of the what I thought were seized bits and he did them for me.

 

Ah now ! Don't you go blaming me now mrs

 

Nice old Vapalux. Has to be 1941 or 1942 with that brass tank with pressure tit. It has a later meth cup and probably the wrong globe but that is being picky because they don't turn up so often now. It will restore and run too. ::Neil::

 

Good score Jane

 

What type of meth cup and globe would it have had originally do you think?

Thats interesting. If I need a replacement burner, i'll get one of those.
