I got a similar Petromax 350CP. The stamp below the lamp says 4965. Is it 49th week of 1965 ? 1. Since this is my first nickel plated PX, what...
Ah, OK this now makes sense. So when a seller says "brass" it does not mean it is 100%. I guess that reputable brands like Petromax they mean...
But then the above image of this lamp (and others I see on ebay) confuse me. They are brass but clearly they have spots covered with red oxides...
Thanks MYN. So it will not be easy/possible to fettle it. Better to forget about it. By the way, does brass rust? I am curious.
Can anyone identify this lamp? It only writes on the ceramic burner Germany 200 250. Nothing else. Notice that the turning knob for the needle is...
Thanks @MYN Very nice. Dear @WimVe I do get the point. The comparison with cars is not as good. It seems that the production of CO is a certainty...
I am not overwhelmed at all.:content: Very nice. Actually I want more!:lol: A modern kerosene heater is not vented. The whole process takes place...
Yes of course, it does not burn properly. But why, say the kerosun heater, is considered safe but a lantern no. It is this contradiction that drew...
I would like to understand this. I have read that a pressure lamp produces (or may produce) carbon monoxide and so it is not considered safe for...
Thanks for clearing this up.
I see..., so about the over pressuring, the B model is improved compared to A? You say that lots of As had this issue. But it is unclear the way...
Thanks @MYN for the information. Dear @podbros do you also have the opinion that the B is a quality compromise of the A model? By the way, plated...
How would you compare Tilley X246A with the 246B model? The A model looks more beautiful since all except the hood looks to be brass where the B...
I checked the vapalux site and the very few sites talking about HC. I always had this question: why they do not use stainless steel for the lamps....
What is the austramax site? This? Kerosene Presser Lamps Parts By the way on this link the drawing shows a curved glass, but the lamp has a...
Thanks for the information. I will consider all the choices.
Petromax and Tilley lamps seem to be still in production. Starting this thread from a thread about whether Tilley pre-heater contains asbestos or...
You are right about offtopic. I will start a new thread.
Thanks for the information. Very useful indeed. If you like such items like myself, and having PMaxs@500cp I look for less bright and not more...
OK. but spirit has always a percentage of water. If the preheater is always submerged it will get rusty. Unless it is stainless steel. I have one...
