    Yes, Jeff, it was a very lucky find. I didn’t think I would have one, let alone one in good condition.


    Cheers

    Testing the vapouriser that came with my ~1935 Tilley EX4. It is much younger than the lamp — brass-but-unstamped bottom knurled fitting.

    I can put the lantern back together now.

    Testing a Kayen burner and vapouriser from a Kayen table lamp.


    The Kayen burner and gallery:

    Note that it’s working fine even though the domed mixing tube has a dent in it.


    Testing with a known working Tilley vapouriser.

    Testing a Coleman 282 that I’m servicing for a mate.
