A Tilley that gets hot, but does not shed light.

I have just got my mits on a Tilley that does not give any light.





It had contents.









Only £10.

 

Have you had it running yet, I've got two of these and had them both working, they get very hot, not a good idea to try ironing delicates with.
Regards Ian.

 

Only got it this afternoon, so no.
I need a new cup washer, I will make that.

 

Nice find mate, and very easy to fettle as well.

 

Good title but it might have gone flat

 

Nice iron in reasonable condition. Good to have the spanner tool too.

I have one that I took a photo of and sometimes when I look at it I see it raised above the carpet and at other times it appears as if the tool has been pressed into the carpet. Neat optical illusion.

 

A bit on playing, no new bits.





Soaking the old cup washer in warm ground nut oil, had it working.
The NRV was striped and cleaned, gunky to hell.





Pre-warming, the smell of burning dust made Defor walk away.






It is burning nicely.
Was a bit pulse happy at the start, but fiddling with the control valve had it working a treat.


Happy Me,

Used to press my work clothes as well.
