One of the guys on CCF tinned (applied solder) the point of the valve stem to solve this problem. The tinned end is soft enough that it will...
One of the earliest 236's!! Absolutely stunning lantern!!
A lux of lanterns!
I think if you have an additional 2 with the same welds then my random left field thought is definitely ruled out. Are there any other differences...

Excellent post - very informative. I find it interesting that they managed over 1000 hours of burn time without servicing, I assume that means...
