Hello Wim, My Northstar actually ran on unleaded for years before I realised that it probably wasn't doing it much good. Aspen 4 T is so much...
I've had a Northstar for well over 10 years. It has served me very well indeed. I don't have any problems with the build quality. The electronic...
I suspect they would not. Years ago if something was purchased it was generally expected to last well and to be readily mended if needed. Now...
Just another comment on quality. Even the mantles don't seem very well made. The mantle ties are made of a thin, waxy feeling string. They break...
I must be looking in the wrong places because the old Petromax lanterns seem to be fetching very high prices. Even the others you mention are...
Fair enough but this was not working. With the wheel set to "off" paraffin was still dribbling out and catching fire on the hot surfaces. The...
The lamp arrived. A rather nasty condition lamp in a parcel full of paraffin. It does appear to be a home made affair but the ring on the top has...
I think the meat would taste of paraffin
Yes, I'll clean it up and post some pictures. I hope it doesn't take too long to arrive because I'm off to the USA for 3 weeks at the end of next...
OK. It does sort of make sense in terms of the concept but if you have never heard of this before then it seems more likely it is a...
Yes, I don't know how effective it will be. I thought it might be fun to brew up on the top of the lamp and lamps certainly get extremely hot. I...
Here is a screenshot [ATTACH]
Thank you Matthew. Yes someone else did spot it but I bought it. Pics will follow.......
Fair enough Jeff. I think it is an unusual hood variant designed to boil a kettle on the top.
No I think I may be incorrect and it is an X246B but with a ring on the top of the hood. I've never seen this before.
It is a circular structure on the top of the enamelled hood that looks as if it might be designed to support something. Unfortunately I can't post...
Just a quick question (I have looked in the gallery but this didn't answer my question). I have seen a Tilley lamp that I think is a 426A. It has...
Thanks for the replies. Yes the lamp did run and I did not have to replace the washer or do anything around that area of the lamp. Not for long...
I now have the lamp working. What a monster it is! That nut that you see in my picture (with the lead washer sticking out) is brazed to the tank...
I slept on this. I was really annoyed that a brand new lamp out of the box had such a stupid fault. I'm glad that I spotted it and if it hadn't...
