    Hadn't run either of these for a couple of years.
    Made new pips for the 829, a new Superior petromax mantle and its a ripper. 20240516_160142.jpg

    They're looking good together.
    These might be some of the brightest among the lot?

    Great! I have the same two types of lanterns! What's your favorite method for lighting them?

    One German made, the other Chinese. Do you notice much difference between the two?

    Hi @Dean D

    I’m currently fettling a 828. How does Your control wheel look like? My wheel is black and unmarked.
