    Here's my Radius 120. I found it a couple of weeks ago. The lantern was very dirty, lots of dust and old fuel remains. It cleaned up very nice. The only thing that was missing, is the knob for moving the needle up and down. I replaced with one that looks like the original.
    The globe is original, the brand name " Radius" is barely visible, but still there. 20260222_140117.jpg 20260218_174038.jpg 20260218_174303.jpg 20260218_174323.jpg 20260219_192728.jpg 20260219_192709.jpg 20260219_192659.jpg 20260222_105322.jpg 20260222_105328.jpg 20260222_105333.jpg 20260222_105341.jpg 20260222_105458.jpg 20260222_105508.jpg 20260222_122029.jpg 20260222_122041.jpg 20260222_122046.jpg 20260222_122057.jpg 20260222_132518.jpg 20260222_135918.jpg 20260222_140004.jpg 20260222_140029.jpg 20260222_140044.jpg

    That's a nice 120 that still has it's original parts. Often the vapouriser and other parts have been replaced by 119 parts. Well presented too.

    Just for accuracy, the glass is a later replacement. The original glass would have had the Radius comet logo.

    @Johan Osinga

    Congratulations on your superb Radius No. 120 lantern.

    I believe AB Radius has an agreement to use the generator system from Hugo Schneider's No. 51 lantern.

    I tested and swapped all the parts of a Radius No. 119 generator assembly with a Hugo Schneider No. 51 lantern generator assembly; all the parts are compatible, all the threads are identical, and the total internal chimney base length is the same at 123 mm.

    Regards,
    Titoo.
