Looks good . What is the quality of production like , and does it run well - Steve

 

Hi,
the quality looks good. I see no problems to start the lantern. But it will be unfired in my collection .

 

The quality is the same as the modern Petromax 829 (it's the same lamp). Usually quite good but you can come across a dud one.

 

Yes, you are right! I have also a similar Petromax, just pimped with an stainless steel preheater and and a hand wheel and pumpknob from the 1960th. The lantern works very good.

 

Very smart looking lantern, Jeff.

 

Hi all!

I got my hands on a Santrax 829 lantern like the one here now in September. Mine was a bit covered with oxidation and burner parts had hardened soot on them. Cleaned all parts, changed all seals, modified the pump piston to a one with leather cup. As original it has the o-ring Piston.
The lantern works very good.

Heres some pictures of it before clean up and action pictures after.
