    How is the pick-up tube in the tank of a Tilley X246B fitted? I'm thinking of making a Frankentilly but it would involve a internal modification to the pick-up.

    @KAB

    Somewhere here I posted a photo from one I dissected. I’ll see if I can find it.

    Cheers

    I can’t find the photo, but in two hours it will be light so I’ll take a photo and post it.

    Lots of solder is my memory...

    I posted an internal picture of a table lamp font a few months ago in a reply to Tony Press . (cannot seem to find it now)
