    Hi guys. I have been lucky enough to find a new Dietz no 50 in a charity shop. The down side is that it doesn't have a wick in it. Does anyone know what size it would take and even more importantly who might have some in stock.

    Thank you in advance.

    The No 50 is a small lamp, similar size to Feuerhand 275 or 6, you could take the burner out and measure the slot under it...

    Hi David,

    the Dietz No. 50 has a 8 mm or 3/8 '' inch wick.

    Kind regards

    Jörg

    @David Lawlor daft question but have you removed the filler cap to see if the wick is in the tank.

    Yes I did check for a hidden wick, after all you never know. Definitely not a daft question as sometimes it's the simplest of things we overlook.
    I have since tracked down Base Camp, as advised, and have ordered a couple along with a couple for my Chalwyn Tropic. Thanks everyone.
