Thanks both. I’ll leave it soaking in the hope that it frees them up. I’m tackling other bits while I can, like trying to undo the wretched nut...
Thanks Keith. Will try some WD40 and leave it inverted and hopefully it’ll come off.
Hi All, I’m in the process of disassembling a 300X which I have received. I have taken off the top of the hood, but I can’t seem to remove the...
Thanks, I’m looking forward to receiving it. It looks pretty sleek compared to some of the others. I was lucky to see it come up on evil bay at a...
Hi all, I’ve just managed to purchase a Bialaddin 310(I believe with original glass) online. It is going to need a fettle, so which sort of seals...
Cheers chaps! I’ve got an Army Vapalux M320, and a couple of Bialaddin 300X’s from the 40s. Still waiting on a couple of parts to come in the...

At this time, I took the vapouriser and the control cock off, to see what plan of action would be required there. As the burner in the hood looked...
So, lets take it all apart. I thought I'd tackle the pump first, as it didn't seem to create any pressure so start with. [ATTACH] Looking at...
So here are the results from my first fettle on a Tilley made in 1983. Here's what it was like when I got it: [ATTACH] Fairly tidy looking, but...
Thanks all. Jeremy I've just happened to watch your video on Tilley servicing which was of great help. I'll try and post some pictures.

Hi All, New to this forum and have been enjoying perusing it this afternoon! I’ve just purchased a Bialaddin 300X in need of a fettling, along...
