We can certainly help in looking at it if you could post a picture or two.:lol:
You are really fortunate to be able to net in that baby.
Would it really glow with that green luminescence on its own?:lol:
Getting any of these Classics to work well is very satisfying on its own. Tilley lanterns are among the legacy products of the United Kingdom....
For a lot of us, the crowded workbench means it is still actively serving. There's usually hardly any room left on it visibly but it can somehow...
Wish you good luck with it. Perhaps you can also combine it in your Ultrasonic bath to enhance the effect.

You had a lucky score. Both the 249 and the 236 are among the best lanterns Coleman ever made. I'd say, they're in the same league as the 242. I'm...
