I know they do call the 930 a 300cp lamp, but in reality the burner parts are all the same dimensions as for a 200/250cp lamp. Therefore a jet of...
The bottles would have been for alcohol. Presumably for preheating the lamp. I would not expect the lamp to be converted to alcohol.
@James K Very interesting. As you can see, my 1050 from 1932 is the older design.
@James K Thanks for the replies. Interesting to note that several V marked 1050s have turned up in the UK. Are they all identical configuration...
This is the second time I have seen a 1050 stamped V with that configuration. All evidence has otherwise indicated that that configuration didn't...
I have seen letters stamped in those positions on the older Radius 119s. Not always the same letter and I have no idea what they mean. They do...
When the pressure relief filler cap was introduced, the first ones had these wings. If original to the lamp (and it looks like it), then that...
I have made my own using a 0.3mm acupuncture needle.
I'd try soldering first. Just make sure that everything is clean, both inside and out. These work on kerosene only, so there is no explosion risk...
I have finally had a look at this and from what I can see in all the images I have, the collar with the notch is only found on the last...
I would actually recommend you making your own NRV tool. The ones that can be bought of the factory original ones are not the best quality. You...
It's easy to make your own. One option is to find an old ½" socket extension that is long enough to reach the bottom of the pump tube, then cut a...
I am guessing here. Maybe it is so that there is some distance between the thread and the top mating surface to give strength, then there is a...
After screwing in this fitting, it is soldered in place.
These black painted Aladdins should be brass. I am not completely sure (no definite proof), but I believe they were available as a cheaper option...
The heater is from 1938 (AC is the code for 1938) so it is a good match for the caravan. Looks to be complete, including the guard which is often...
Most heaters that I have come across are no more than the equivalent of a 300cp lamp. That means a jet size of 0.2mm or less.
I think you can take off about 40 years. This variant of the 3/300 was one of the last before the introduction of the angular handle. I believe...
I wonder which of the 10" tripods would have been used on this model. Was it the older under burner tripod or had they already introduced the...
The font is one of the last used with the model 12, so it should be from the start of the 1930s. IIRC, the 12 finished in the UK around 1933. I...
