Hello Tjerk. I guess there are a variety of ways you can create a shade, and I use lanterns as auxiliary heating in the colder months, so shades...
Hello Frank. I'm not sure what you mean when you refer to the Syphon. If you have got the rod and the jet cleaning end out of it you should be...
I do love this lamp, although I do have a later version with a more horizontal pump, and different handle. That has been knocked about a bit and...
Hello Frank. Sad news, but I think breaking them is seemingly not uncommon. Mine came broken, and without the jet or cleaning tip, so I had to buy...
Not quite sure what you are referring to...Not stuck, the cap wobbles on the hood as the stupid rivet has loosened off. My post above relates to...
Aha, it's stuck this time ! [ATTACH]
Hello Gents. On my table now. The rivet is loose in fact, and I might stick a brass bolt through it one day. More frustratingly however, the...
Hello Pete. I will report back when it lands here, but the truth is the rather scant pictures didn't show the top of the cap so I'm not sure as...
Hello Claus. I just bought one of these on line. I'm not sure which exact model it will be when it gets here, as it is missing the decal plate as...

Thank you both for taking the time to respond. I've poured hot caustic soda through this, heated and quenched it, and still the rod comes out...
Good day all. I've just started trying to sort out a 119, and in its history the cleaning rod has been broken off just above the eccentric block....
I just stuck a vernier under the frame and I have 45mm between the bottom of the inner plate and the top of the font.
I seem to remember doing something differently to the bialaddin frame when I altered it. Can't remember and won't get to check what I did til it...
Well, I'm pretty sure I'm onto something now. I just hoyked up the J-tube in the hood of my Radius 119, which I'd previously tried all sorts of...
