It's a bit of a tale but bear with me! Just over five years ago, Trevor and I entertained one of our members, Juan, and his family to a day out...
Well, I'm owning up to having a hand in supplying only three of those lamps and lanterns... :thumbup: ...the largest three, admittedly, but...
Enlarged burner holes certainly won't help. However, they're quite large even when the burner is brand new and it's highly unlikely they'll have...
Surely low pressure is one of the main causes of under-burn, especially in simple lanterns like Tilley. This could be something as simple as...
This is the place for those members who got one of Trevor's lamps, heaters or stoves to show it - either working or not working - as a tribute for...
Yes - it dawned on me (eventually) that there was another way to do it and I couldn't believe how easy it was and why hadn't I thought of it...
Before you start faffing about with blowtorches and dismantling the burner etc., have you checked the basics first? This sounds like a pressure...
Yes - screw the filler cap back onto the lantern and then use a screwdriver as normal to remove the centre screw. It works for me...
One presumes this is a really rare globe you're trying to repair. It seems a heck of a lot of bother to go to if it isn't...
Low cost Chinese quality, Henry...
More chit-chat, Wim, so you can ignore this post... Cork is a place I intend to get to one of these days - if for no other reason to visit the...
Why are you asking, George - do you want some sent over? No charge to you because you're a pal... ;) :lol: BR and GR were Sunderland. DS was...
At one time I 'collected' the names of Eddie Stobart trucks. I suppose that's the modern-day equivalent of being a train spotter. Maybe Santa...
I don't know why you would think that, Wim - those heat deflectors were official Tilley after-market parts. But if I was playing the Devil's...
:-k Given the chronology I ought to correct myself. :doh: In fact, the Gemini space capsules were actually 'T10-shaped' rather than the reverse... :D
The shape of the tank and the galleries are different on the T10 and T20. People seem/seemed to find the 'space capsule' look of the T10 a little...
Yes, I know it's a Tilley - that's why I mentioned Tilley making air intake tubes in their version of 'stainless' steel i.e. not actually...
Well I've asked the question but had no reply as of yet. Maybe I should telephone his son and see if that brings a result. The family history...
No.
Tilley outsource all their parts manufacture these days and my guess would be that they've fallen into the usual trap of Far Eastern manufacture...
