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 Tony
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 Tony
Testing an old brass bottom, patent -stamped Tilley 606 vapouriser. I cleaned it up and gave it a few shifts in the ultrasonic cleaner. Here testing with a known working burner, hood and mantle. Here, with the burner I’m fitting to a 1949-1953 Tilley X246. And here, the finished X246. Cheers Tony
