    Lucky enough to get a tip from a friend about this for sale. Took a chance and called about it thinking it must be gone by now. Still can't believe it somehow ended up with me. What's here seems to be in pretty good shape considering how old it is. Repro parts are available for it so we'll see how that goes. Wherever this thing sat it was there for a long time. I'm not really up on the real oldies but was told it is a Coleman 316L "ARC" lantern. I'm more than okay with that. :)

    Well it's starting to look like something. Generator just sitting loose in the bottom. Hopefully sometime this year we'll see some light. It'll never be a show piece but I'm okay with that. If anyone is ever looking for some repro parts Wounded Dog (Bruce Kuda) does lovely work. Globe is also a repro and quite reasonable in cost considering what it is.
