    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.

    And you’re lucky you’ve got the ceramic radiant!


    Cheers

    A very lucky find especially as it has the ceramic burner.

    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.
