Have a Hasag 351L. I am missing the pricker wire inside of the generator. I notice the end looks like it would be a loop that attached to the valve. ( not sure on that just an assumption). Anybody have an idea where I can find a replacement or is there a work around by fabricating a new one. thanks in advance Sean
Hi Sean, sometimes a thread can get a bit lost as other topics move above it, so perhaps that has happened here.. Hopefully another member can help with pointers towards a possible replacement or a way to show a fabrication of one best of luck regards, pb :edit ; I just did a search and found this link ; www.starklichttechnik.de @Seansmithwfd
Do you know that this is a 80year old lantern? They have sought but never found any parts in the demolished factory in 1945. The web shop of the link from @podbros , it says glass, needle and jet. They do not offer other parts. But you may ask off coarse.
Yes it is an 80 odd year old lantern. I understand parts are not available. My original question was looking for the part. (You know sometimes folks may have a parts lantern that has the part I am looking for) or somebody that has had the same problem and has come up with a work around solution. That was the basis of my question. Surprised me that almost week had gone by and nobody has responded. So no reason to be a smart a** with factories being demolished.
You might have to remanufacture the missing pieces: A sliding piece into which the eccentric on the handwheel shaft engages, a thin brass rod with threads at both ends, and a threaded nipple which is screwed onto the top of the brass rod. The jet needle is screwed into this threaded nipple from above. Needles can still be obtained, search for "Swiss Hasag 551 needles", e. g. from EBay. Next to it is a thin brass tube, in which the brass rod runs, and some brass gauze, which is wrapped around the brass tube. You can find a picture of how it looks (scroll down a bit) on Torsten Schernings website.
I appreciate that. That was the kind of information I was looking for. Had no idea what it actually looked like. Rare in your parts of the world and really rare here in the states. Could have done with out the smart a** response by another. This is suppose to be a forum of gathered individuals with combine experience and knowledge. Was surprised that after a week nobody had responded. It doesn’t go that way on the Coleman collectors forum. Always find answers in a timely manor. Thank you again. You have definitely led me into the right direction that I needed to get this 80 odd year old lantern making light again.
@Seansmithwfd You're welcome. This forum seems to be more for British and American lamps and lanterns, so the other guys (like me) may take a while to answer... Apart from those who are online more regularly.
Pity you don't see the humour in my post, which it was intended to be. But hey good luck with making this part.
