If I do fire it up, I will borrow a hood and spirit cup from another lamp though....
Cheers for the comments . Yes, the vaporiser suited my purposes being without a wire as its just for show really. The burner is knackered from...
You could also test it using the ventilator from your own 320, being careful not to knock the mantle whilst swapping over.

I have just finished assembling this Bialaddin 300X using sourced and salvaged parts. No two parts are from the same lamp. I bought the hood and...

@presscall I got seals on the Tank and the vaporiser. I wanted to check the square shaped knobbly seal inside the fuel cock, but no joy there....
I aquired this X246B Tilley a while back, and until I get a decent vice and molegrips (Got a broken bone in left hand, unmendable), I can't do...
Vapalux! :) That will look good!
