Hello all, I picked this Coleman 480 Hot Ray up on the weekend. We decided to go and visit my sister in-law on another road trip, and of course we checked out all the second hand shops on the way. I just couldn't leave it behind, it looked so impressive, the price was a real bargain, and I just had to have it in my collection. I have seen others around the place, but always incomplete, and twice the price, so of course it ended up in the car before I could even blink. I love the fact that it also can operate as a stove as well. As far as I know this lamp is complete and in my opinion in very good condition. I will just give it a good clean and leave her in original condition. Here are some photos. Thanks for looking.
Your USA made 480 Hot Ray IS complete; guard and ceramic radiant. Make yourself up a metal radiant if you intend to use it and wrap the clay radiant up REAL carefully and store it.
