On the lamps quantity price breaks at 150,100 75 and 36 pcs. What a way we used to do things...
Well at least for me those pictures are totally at odds with the ones from the OP (original poster) at the the top of the thread. What happens in...
I have cleaned mine out this morning. The 0.006 Acupuncture needle was indeed fine for the jet and air holes. I didn't know the fuel filter...
The jet in mine is obviously blocked with crud. I would like to have a go at clearing it. I was much too scared to try it before so I just...
My guess was green laser pointer fired at it.
I have had Racal Navy radio receivers where they managed to leave out the solder. In that case it was silver plated wire wrapped around a silver...
Found it and it doesn't want to come out. I don't really want to try to brute force it. It looks for all the world like it is one piece with the...
I'm sure I have one of these somewhere. Can't find it anywhere so far. It seemed unwilling to come apart there to me. I assumed it was soldered in.

Most likely between 1973 and 1979 when VAT was 8%. That should have made the VAT 2.4p but they seem to have rounded down. It was never lower than...
Doing OK for 2024 but still with all that silly pixelation. Not needed. Gävle's brilliant Christmas symbol
Is Acetylene very cheap for you? Why burn it under pressure for a blue flame which could heat or weld just to energise a mantle? The mantle...
That makes me think the open section would be better with some stories about railway work. Esp with lamps such as this. My stories would be less...
Surely that is a new cage - or?
All correct I think. I wonder whether carbide lamps produce any soot at all. I think probably not so long as no foreign object enters the flame....
Doesn't that belong in the Open Forum chaps? Massively OT.
Mantles going well by the look - congratulations. Is that a can of fuel right alongside? Is that wise?
It is unfired. Shame it got the ding in the tank.
The two labelled Nomaco and TP look like the plastic cork replacement types. I expect kero would dissolve them with time. There could be others...
Separate names with a comma.
