Prem what is the lantern market like there in Thailand? What is commonly used and available? I've got some family in Maha Sarakham but they're...
Antique Lamp Supply - Chandelier and Lamp Parts Store is a good place to try
I've found it easier to put a bigger mantle on rather than change the tip if it's getting too much fuel.
Have you got a Tilley torch? Fill that 285 with kero, paraffin whatever you call it. Start with the valve open and no pressure in the tank....
Would you care to pm me Robb's contact info? Those look great!

Looks to be a Coleman 214. That's a fairly rare lantern even here. Most 286 parts interchange with it. The generator/vaporisor is different....
So...how would it work if a buddy was just sending you some stuff??
Thanks Henry!
Do you have a good source for mica? I've got an old 427 that needs a couple of pieces replaced. I've also thought about trying my hand at making a...
Nice!!
You can dismantle and clean those generators. I hardly ever buy a new one. My guess is they're scarce over there. Be mindful when you pull it...
