    My latest eBay purchase, this caused me a lot of stress as it was long over due being delivered and when I contacted the seller they sent me the tracking which said it had been delivered ](*,) . Luckily I found it at the pub next door with the wrong address on, so it found its rightful owner eventually.

    Anyway, after emptying the tank of fuel that came with it a fresh tank full and a mantle was all it needed to get it going again. I was quite amazed to see how the hood changed colour, see it next to another 200a with the same colour hood.

    Quite common for them to change colours. My early vents did the same.

    I wish pubs sold lamps win, I'd be there all the time. Hopefully no more will be delivered to the wrong address in future. I've got a spare 201 that I'm going to use on this lamp. I trust Coleman hoods more than Tilley's, but it would be a shame to let this one become rough. :-({|=
