Nice lantern that burns well now. Had an issue with generator and damaged male thread on the valve body. Luckily the single damaged thread got...
My Coleman 242 is one of those ones that you buy but know its real rough and probably just for parts. Then you reconsider and this is one of...
Nice work. I reckon I have one of those retention clips and never knew what it was for. Now I will have to find where I put it. Your bender seems...
