Well done with the restoration. You certainly had some challenges. It's good to see another 1019 restored as a lot of them must have got too...
The questions were serious and thanks for your reply. I was just wondering why they would make a lamp with all the liquid fuel features if it is...
I think that looks great. I'm guessing they are fairly rare? I do have some questions though. Is it meant to have a burnt off mantle around what...
This is a Radius jet for a model 101. The 101 was more or less a clone of the Px 900 and most parts are interchangeable. Standard numbering for...
This looks like a 119 from the period when the safety filler cap was first introduced. The first of these filler caps had the wings like you have....
This is an early variation of the 102, but normally not with that globe cage/collar. The collar is for the 105 lantern which has the quick...
That looks to be a good match (and well sprayed). What is the handle sprayed with?
I have seen that gold under the green paint before but just assumed it was brass that hadn't corroded yet. Maybe the gold paint is some type of...
It was a combination of the preheat cup, the filler cap and the pricker control. That particular combination should only exist in 1937.
Well done, that is looking good. You were lucky to find a complete original example. Be careful with the globe. The only replacements that I know...
It would be nice to see them all together when you're finished. That would be impressive.
I find it strange that the lamp needs modification. I have had several lamps from this series running well. Just last weekend I had a 350 (same as...
The Primus is either a 1080 or 1081. It's hard to see any details because of the reflection in the glass. The 1080 is without a quick start and...
It is quite normal for a new mantle to take some time (~30 min) to settle in. If the light is blinding, then it is working correctly. :)
Basically it is 'just' nickel plating. The matt finish is created by how the brass is finished before plating. If you have nice shiny brass, then...
The mantle on the 1020 looks ok to me. Maybe not enough pressure when forming, but not too bad. The mantle you mention is the right one for a...
Hi Henrik and welcome to the forum. Both your lamps should be able to work well. They obviously need looking at as there is obviously something...
No idea about the model number, but I like the Handi pricker lever. :)
Unfortunately all my Australian lamps are back home in Oz, so I can't check things out. From memory it is slightly better but still quite rusty....
When you see them together, it is obvious how the brown hood has a different style to the perforated collar part. Definitely an interesting find.
