I should be able to check and adjust the pricker spindle by setting it up with the burner assembly removed. One thing that's confusing me is that...
Yes, I'm not 100% sure it's an original Veritas one. It's got to be close. It's very difficult to adjust the height of the rod apart from trial...
Few years ago I gave away some good lamps to mates, but stupidly of the 5 I kept, 0 work. (Hahaha I suppose I thought I'd leave myself some...
I was inspired to fire up my Handi Kero-pet tonight. Always starts so easily, though it is pulsing a fraction, and not very bright. Been away...
Talking of Joe Bonamassa.... Here's THE best rock track you've ever heard. Oh, and turn it UP! [MEDIA]
Ah Jeff those Filtertrons are too good eh?
Which reminds me, I really should get my delicious brass 'Sievert' going properly. Oooh I'll do it tomorrow... but no Can't! I've got a banjo to...

Thanks Henry, I'll saddle up my Macro lens! Tied up for today though.
No worries P, thanks for your help. On another subject, my Solar 350CP has run briefly, but is super-rich. The needle appears to be working fine....
That post was a long time ago. Sands don't have any Veritas needles now, I might ask them about Petromax or Optimus availability. BTW the TOP of...
Problem is Tony that each part (the main lower rod and the top wire section) has a male thread, so it's not as simple as entering one part into...
Sorry Tony, I didn't really understand. The new Solar top 20mm section with the fine prick wire in it, I propose to soft-solder onto the lower rod...
?
That Veritas on the left (above) with the nice brass fount used to work nicely. But the pricker is now U/S. I think the prickers are hard to find,...
Thanks lads. With the Handi I cleaned out the pricker needle assy -and found the needle bent, -it's now running fairly nicely, though not quite as...
