    I lit up my Bialaddin 310 for the first time today and it ran beautifully no pulsing or yellow flame. I only ran it for a short time because it had no glass or mantle. I think I was lucky with this one as nothing was broken it was just solid with corrosion and carbon.

    Here you go Colin all I have done is to restore it to full working order (removed all the muck and rust) 20221116_130236.jpg 20221116_130326.jpg 20221116_130236.jpg 20221116_130326.jpg

    Well it has been round the block but it sounds like it should work well. The original (curved base) globe is hard to come by but the more modern stepped one from a 320 will work.

    Thanks for the 320 info .It looks like I've chosen the lamp with the most expensive glass replacement.
