    Correction! Correction! Correction!

    The lamp is, of course, a Canadian Coleman 118B!!!! I don’t know why I started out calling it a 118A.

    This note applies to the 4 posts of mine directly above.


    Cheers

    Testing another Canadian Coleman 118B.

    Note that the original screens in the burner caps were rusted and falling apart. The screens have been replaced here by a finer brass mesh.

    Operating at 15psi with the valve just open slightly.

    Probably the burner caps should be replaced, but I like to keep as much of the original fittings as I can.

    I expect this set up will last a long time.



    Cheers
