As Henry has said, part 6128 is the graphite packing. Primus did theirs by using a number of graphite washers. I usually just pack the gland nut...
Are there any other markings on the glass anywhere? I have seen Primus glasses with only the name that have not been from Schott. I think I...
The burner casting is quite different, even though the basic design is the same. Primus made it much more complicated with several pieces that...
The Radius 103 (or Optimus 300) vapourisers will not fit the Radius 119. The attachment method is different and the thread for the jet is different.
Yes, it could have been done in the railway workshop on all the lamps they received. The holes do seem a bit crude to have come from the factory...
All the SEQR lamps I have seen have this rectangular hole, so I am not sure it is "aftermarket".
The two in the middle are for lamps from about 1934 to 1937. I have no idea what the left hand one is for. It is quite a large opening.
Very late 1930s to first half of 1940s. This is the last variation with the text on the tank like that. I am guessing that the inner top is from...
Can we get some sub folders in the Petromax lantern folder with the various model numbers. It would make it much easier to find things.
You need a 0.18mm wire. I don't know what that works out to in guitar/banjo strings. :) I use stainless steel acupuncture needles.
As Frank writes, finding original parts for this lantern will be difficult. Usually it is only found on other lanterns and not many are being...
You need to add some graphite packing. Remove the gland nut and add some new/extra graphite packing around the shaft, then screw on the gland nut...
The chances of finding an inner top are pretty slim. The only part that needs fixing is the crack where the mixing tube attaches. I'm sure it can...
I believe a 300cp jet pricker will work on a quick start jet.
With the rack and pinion system used on the Primus lamps, this is not an issue. Raising the pricker is not intended to shut off the lamp, even...
Hi Thomas and welcome to the forum. Your lantern is from the mid to late 1940s. Everything seems to be there so should clean up alright and work...
As mentioned, there is no evidence of what the P stands for. The only common change on all the lanterns marked P, is the vapouriser attachment....
No one knows what the P actually means. There have been many guesses over the years. As to differences between the 200 and the 200P, the only one...
As long as you don't need a glass with a Primus logo, they are easy to find. It is the standard 110x115 mm glass used in many Px style lanterns....
Thanks for the photos. That's a box I havn't seen before. I'll have to keep an eye out for one in the future. I'm sure I have heard of Sibor...
