Yes - I've seen the episode in question a couple of times now but can't remember which one it was...
Quite possibly. It's at least a variant of those shown with a different burner and an interesting Tilley accessory to cook on or boil water...
Whatever paint you find, it won't need to be VHT so don't let that be a problem. Any craft enamel-type paint in an aerosol can from a local...
I laughed when they introduced him as Neil Smith! I did ask him why they'd done that but I can't remember what he said now. Possibly at his...
Thanks for letting us know! :thumbup: :D Is there a section for early Tilley heaters? - I've had a look but no joy so far... :-k
I haven't heard anything to that effect...
One of the very few lanterns I'd buy these days - supposing I ever got the chance! =P~ Anybody got one in the UK... [-o< Awesome man-cave by the...
I have stripped the odd lamp when there's no alternative and used paint stripper from Wickes, I think it was. Modern paint strippers use a...
We saw him at Newark last June and judging by his FaceAche page he's still alive and kicking - not expected to depart any time soon, either......
Horrible - I hate to see polished lamps which bear no resemblance to how they looked when they left the manufacturer. To me, they're no more than...
I had a lantern which had a flat like that. It didn't let hot gases in - it let hot paraffin vapour out so it was a right stinker whenever I tried...

One factor might be whether the seller knows what they have (or not). Mine came from a seller who didn't, although it was missing the shade which...
I think John is probably correct. If, for instance, your kettle stopped working, you wouldn't expect to fix it by polishing it. You may care to...
Like Tony, I can't ever remember seeing a Handi with a cream hood. They're cracking lanterns...
If you ever find one, please find two! I would imagine that if you can't find one in the US then probably the rest of the world isn't going to be...
I much prefer the tie-on mantles although I've very few left now. I find the trick is not to tie them on to withstand the force of a hurricane....
Mostly those look like seals for various places and probably fit only where they're intended to go. No.1 looks like the non-return valve (NRV)...
One of the current series of DfB over here showing finds in the northern half of the UK - try iPlayer. The clip shown was filmed in south-east...
I think this was Vera:- [ATTACH] ...and I think this may have been Shetland:- [ATTACH]
