David, surely Baggus Entrailicus are a mountain creature, so very unusual to see at lochside level. The creature is perfectly adapted to its...
Hi Peter, Put it in your spares box! Steve.
It is as I thought. The repro Tilley PL53 reflector that I had made fits nicely on the Bialaddin lamps and the Petromax. Alll that is required...
Hello Jean, There is only one buyer of the KL80 brass reflectors to date. We all eagerly await his post, but I know that the end result is going...
I have a couple of orders for brass reflector shades to be spun. Does anyone else require reflector blanks? I will be placing the order with the...
Hi Pete, Thanks for the link. So, polished aluminium would be correct for the very early bowls; then I think there may have been some bare...
Glad you like it Juan :thumbup: :thumbup: . New topic; I have now got some 4" x 6" off-cuts of the steel that the reflectors are spun from if...
Neighbor Al raised the question about whether the "Spinner" could reproduce Tilley R1 heater bowls. This made me think that there maybe a...
Got an old beat-up Tilley R1a bowl heater, not pretty, but saw no reason why it should not be a "worker". Everything fettled OK , but no mantle...

Well put David :thumbup: . Welcome Eoghan. Not much difference between Tilley and Vapalux in the principle of how they work. Just treat it as...
Hi David, I'm good for that mate. Are we going for 246 x Tilley 246B's, like the 111 x Optimus 111's?. We can only try! Steve.
As Jeff says, try it. 1/2mm is quite often enough to keep the jet clean. You won't know until you try it. Also, do not waste mantles testing...
The cleaning needles are almost always bent somewhat. If the very fine needle tip is still in place, all I would do is gentle scrape off any...
That's the NRV leaking (Non-Return-Valve). Easily fixed with a new seal. You can get them from the "Fettle Box" at right top of the screen. Steve.
Well, all the reflectors have been sent out to those who ordered them and all have arrived safely, as far as I know (Juan in Argentina?) I...
Lovely job Chris, well done :thumbup: :thumbup: . Steve
