    Hi

    I am new to this group.
    I have seen the work of the members here. I am a professional clock maker. But I got interested in this pressure lamp that is why I joined this group. I am servicing a petromax 835. Since there are no parts for this, I thought of making it as a show piece. But with the help of the people here, I think I can get it to working condition. So the problem I have is that I do not have the pump part here at the moment, and the rubber parts of the valve part that attaches to the pump from the outside of the tank have worn out. Can anyone post clear photos of these parts in their original condition. Look at the shape of the valve part and how the end of the pump is. If so, I will be able to write new parts on my lathe.
    Thanks

    I was thinking about this type of lantern. I need the valve part and the leather part of the pump and a complete image of it. Because I'm thinking of making the letters on a lathe.
