Derek that is a good link to Tornado going through the station at Durham. As a coincidence it is my local station! Does anyone recognise this guy...
The start of this thread talked about 'Big Boy'. It was certainly an impressive engine - but it was also very ugly in my eyes. In my youth I saw...
Jon I am sure your stove will be in a workable condition soon. Before you light it, watch this excellent Youtube video made by one of the CCS...
I am surprised that in the 'Lamp Reference Library - Catalogues & Parts' that there is no named section for the USA, considering the number of...
Hi Jon A couple of short answers: * Should you use an inner cap for a correct burn? - YES. * Should you use paraffin for your stove (no...
Hi Jon Derek has generously offered you an inner cap. They can also be found HERE. The following photos should help you. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Matthew - fighting off girls is the best reason (and only one so far) for having my X246B, so it looks like you are the favourite so far! :D
OMG Matthew!!! On the CCS site in the Events and Meets concerning Newark I said: No one has pleaded yet! :lol:
David, I know you better than most and I would never call you a snob. In fact the only reason I used the word was to get a useful discussion...

Jon, you have photographed your stove well and have explained your problems clearly. It is true that your post would have been better posted on...

I love the design of the X246 and X246A. The X246B was an exercise in producing a similar lantern using simpler construction and cheaper...
Yes David, the tickets for the Sage have been all sold out for a while. So I will not be seeing them. Never mind, on Saturday I saw 'Yes' at the...
I saw The Seekers live in 1965 when they were at their peak of popularity. Great performers and good, catchy songs and yes I had a crush on Judith...
I don't think that a full explanation is suitable for this thread which is about a Primus lantern. But I will say that it is a subject with a lot...
Hi Christer and David. A subject close to my heart. As Christer says, 72 ppi (Mac) and 96 ppi (PC) was the rule from years ago. The whole...
Hi Lampies Some of you may know me from the sister-site, CCS. A couple of weeks ago I published some documents here in the 'Catalogues & Parts'...
In the Good ol' Days I have received lanterns and stoves from the USA full of fuel. Amazing how things change.
CaptainMike, as a matter of interest for those of us not in the US, how much US Customs paperwork is there?
