Latest restoration Optimus 930.

I was recently gifted this 930 in the condition on the left. It cleaned up nicely and I just had to make a wire handle to complete the restoration. A lovely lamp for the cost of a globe.

 

@Robert Radcliffe

Welcome to the forum.

To be gifted that you have a good friend!

On on my wish list too.

Regards Jeremy

 

Thanks for the welcome Jeremy. The Optimus was accompanied by a Coleman Peak 1 and a Coleman 400a stove. So yes a good friend indeed.

 

Hi Robert

Yes, I saw that post too. Are you new to lamp and stove collecting or just new to the forum?

Regards Jeremy

 

Stoves definitely not, but lamps only the last couple of years. It would seem they have me gripped now though. Also bought my first pressure heater and yesterday a blow lamp. HELP!

 

Welcome.

What globe did you use?

Cheers

Tony

 

Theres a seller on Ebay UK Tony. Not an original but a decent repro. I was told there are some Coleman globes that can substitute.

Welcome, Robert! Your 930 cleaned up very nicely.

 

Hi all!

You can still get your hands on original glass from Jürgen at hytta.de article number SPO-3920.
