Here is my Turner X159 bought with parts missing, as it turned out, far more than was immediately obvious. Here are some pictures of the many parts made and the final light up, (sorry about the pictures, best I could do) I was determined to get it going.
I think that makes for an excelent 1st post - you should be very happy with your works. It looks like it is going really well
Welcome to CPL @Rustylamp The replacement parts look great and the lantern is shining brightly, congratulations.
Nice work, @Rustylamp. Are you going to post this in the Reference Gallery? It looks like a good example. Cheers Tony
@JEFF JOHNSON Thank you for your welcome. @Fireexit1 Thanks it does run well but weighs an absolute ton. definitely not a camping lantern. @JonD Thanks and yes it is a lovely lathe but not the one I actually made the parts on, it's in the process of being set up after being converted from 3phase to single. @ROBBO55 Thanks, just had to see how it ran, don't think there are too many of these over here. @Tony Press Thanks and if you think it's worth putting in the Reference Gallery should I take some more pictures of the lamp and leave out the parts? Also it's not totally original in as much as the quick light knob is brand new and only in the style of what might have been there, what do you think?
@Rustylamp It is very much worth placing in the Reference Gallery with detailed photos. It is a fine example, and there are only two shown. The Reference Gallery is an outstanding resource for collectors. It allows for variations to be tracked and the photos are always useful when someone is undertaking a restoration. Cheers Tony
@Tony Press You are absolutely right about the photos, if it wasn't for the photos posted by another member I would have had no idea where to begin, I even got the jet orifice size by looking on here. A very good resource. Glad to give something back if it might help someone else. Thanks for your help.
