Solar 500cp

Here is my solar 500cp.
In the way of tinkering this lamp didn't really need that much doing except for one frame arm/leg that has broken from the rivet on the bottom ring .
All the brass work was scrubbed with a Dremel type tool fitted with scotch bright pads .
The chrome work was polished with peek and a toothbrush .
You will notice that the jet still has solar 500 stamped on it and the vapouriser also has the solar name stamped on it .
Thanks marten

 

Nice one @Madras

 

Thanks fireexit1

 

It's cleaned up nicely.

 

Thanks Robbo55

 

The build quality of Solar lanterns is good.

 

Thanks Jeff, I hav'nt fired this one up yet so I don't know it compares to other petclones .
The build does feel a bit more solid compared to other types .

Hello Marten, yes, Solar lanterns are made mostly from brass.

 

Lovely rebuild, well documented. As others have said, Solar made good, sturdy lanterns.

 

@JEFF JOHNSON yes this one is also mostly brass ,I think that's what contributes to their build quality .

@ColinG
Thanks for the compliment .
