I've just finished mine. I will post into the Fettling section some time soon. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Interesting. It's difficult to see the justification for the horizontal feed tube. The vent at the top of handle means it won't allow the...
That's probably true, but some of the earlier comments may lead one to think otherwise. For example, it was said to be observed that the tank...
Increasing the pressure does fix it, a bit anyway. It could be partly the gradient issue - or could be that with more pressure, there is more...
My theory is that a build-up of carbon in a vapouriser acts as an insulator and the liquid fuel is then turned to gas in a hot-and-miss manner...
Well I don't think there is any material difference between a Bialaddin 320 and a Vapalux 320. But I thought that the Vapalux (or Bialaddin) 320...
OK - I'll ask. What is the difference between a Vapalux 230 and a Vapalux M320? I had imagined the former were silver painted and the lattter...
I called - but you weren't in.
Welcome Johan Having just come back from the Western Cape, there were a good number of vintage and junk stores with pressure lamps and stoves fro...
This funnel was found on a South African shop shelf close to a DN250, so it could quite feasibly have been its accessory. I haven't seem a...
Great find. Is this an outdoor model? If so, perhaps it should be named OL25. I see the ad claims the lamps are Fool Proof, which introduces...
Since it fits the pump/filler thread, I take this to be the genuine article. It was found in South Africa. Was there a version suitable for a...
If anyone wants a Valor 500, I know the whereabouts of one for sale in apparently good order. As a clue, it's in South Africa.
And the X in X246 etc? I'm with Neil and tend to think that Tilley just made it up as it went along.
How is the vapouriser kept hot on this style of stove - is it only by conduction from the brass bell?
Well, on a sample of the three lanterns, it looks as though I was making it up. So, the one piece have hood is, conveniently, one piece....
Henry You are right. I'll need to look at a couple of mine to see if I am making it up or there is, in fact, more than one type. Trouble is, I...
I well understand what David means, but I think even the one-piece is made of errr... two pieces 1965-68 Bialaddin 320 Chrome If it was only one...
If you have a vice, hold the HRV hexagon in it and grip the tube by hand.
I found my X359 hood on a yellow BR49 - a short one without the wick pre-heater; I think they are not altogether uncommon in that format, so worth...
Separate names with a comma.
