HASAG No.71

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for information about HASAG No.71 lamp.
Any idea?

Thanks

 

Hello Bobby! What kind info are you looking for?
Hasag 71 is a 500cp kerosene lantern, made in Germany in late 1930's. It's mentioned in 1938 Hasag catalogue. These lamps are not common to see, but basically they are a well known Hasag 51 with bigger jet and asbestos plate preventing the tank from overheat.

hello Pitu
I often heard speaking of this Hasag 1938 catalogue
where could I find this catalogue ?

 

Thanks Pitu,

I'm looking for detailed technical info, because I own one in pretty bad condition and I want to restore it.

 

Send me a PM with your email and I will send you a copy. ::Neil::

 

Hi Mackburner,
Greeting from Taiwan! I recently acquired a rare Hasag No. 71 and am currently working on its full restoration. This lamp is truly a masterpiece, but its unique parts have posed quite a challenge.

I noticed that the jet and cleaning needle on my No. 71 look remarkably similar to those of a Radius 119 (300CP), rather than the typical Petromax HK500 parts. I am trying to verify if this is the original factory configuration for this period or a previous modification.

@Mackburner, I read in the thread that you might have a copy of the 1938 Hasag catalogue. Since I am unable to send PMs yet as a new member, would it be possible for you to share a copy or relevant pages with me? It would be an invaluable guide for me to restore this piece accurately, especially regarding the jet specifications and the heat plate assembly.

Thank you very much for your time and for sharing your incredible expertise with the community.

Best regards,
Dante

 

Dante, Mackburner has passed away, so you won't get any answer from him.
But maybe some other member might help you out.

 

Hi Dante,
this seems to be the original configuration of a Hasag No 71 with 500 HK. The orifice in the jet (and the matching diameter of the needle) is slightly bigger than for the Hasag No 51 with 300 HK, thus increasing the fuel consumption and according light output. But the overall appearance of all parts including jet and vaporizer is identical, like e. g. between Petromax 828 with 300/350 HK and 829 with 500 HK.
Your Hasag 71 has the heat shield mounted which gives extra safety in case of a broken mantle. I have mostly seen this on lanterns for usage with petrol / gasoline. However, the No 51 and No 71 will also run on paraffin / kerosene.
These Hasag lanterns have a totally different design than Petromax and the like, so spares for Hasag are harder to find than for the more common Petromax types. The Radius 119 with 300 HK is a design similar to Hasag, but I can't say whether parts are interchangeable without modification.
