Dears, I almost completed fettling 827B/200HK Petromax. Below several issues that maybe interesting for others and someone can advice me as...
I would recommend a bit of dedicated epoxy resin to be poured in and sealed the tank from inside. There will be no "evidence" left after job is...
Just add that these cost you 1 000 000 $ Please please ;)
The graphite packing inside the nut presses more and more on the nut from inside when the nut is tightened and may cause cracks. But INHO there...
I just would like o correct myself - I do not consider all Petromax 2827 as a WWII production. INHO most of them are post WWII and available docs...
Dears, So I am fixing yet another WWII military Petromax 200cp size lantern. As usual it’s packing nut has stress crack. I am getting better at...
Dears, I have a Kerolux 102, Hasag 39SP 100cp table lamp. INHO there is missing some part/Spiritus adapter (air restrictor) between mixing tube...
Thanks @Jean J . So I will try to get it. I will post some more pics when/if I have it.

Thanks for info @Reinhard White hood - this is the only one in the whole Petromax gallery here, exceptional example. Such a plate for asbestos...
Interesting lamp in proper hands ;). That plate is the same as in 823/6 and R826. I did not know that it may be for tablets, but it makes sense....
1/2 - 32 UN set ordered already from US Amazon. I should get it in a couple of weeks. The funny thing is that I am not sure if I can restore the...
Thank you @MYN . That will be a challenge to find it in Poland (tried already yesterday on the Internet), but but we will see.
Dears, I am (very) slowly mowing forward with my Coleman 249 fettle. Currently I need to fix threading on the generator nut. The nut is deformed...
