Been there and done that with a standard vapouriser. It was about as successful (i.e. not) as Tilley's stab at 500cp from a 606 vapouriser, so I...
Well, obviously I meant "The Lamp Lighters Lounge" - part of which is the Open Forum... :roll: :whistle: :p
:-k Why has your air intake tube gone rusty..? I've seen them made in stainless steel - evidently the Tilley version of stainless, anyway......
I think they were designed to be a general space heater rather than for a greenhouse specifically, but they'll do that job too. I was going to...
Aye, with the FL series, so much depends on the condition of the reflector. Is someone reproducing them or something? Nice work John and best of...
Well, as pb suggests, it could possibly be zinc oxide produced by oxidation of the zinc component of the brass. But then you'd have free copper...
I suspect it's from the mantle. I got exactly the same effect when I made an ersatz "500cp" Vapalux lantern by fitting a longer spigot to the...
Ford 'Pepper Red' according to what Ray's written above...
Bleath Gill is fairly local to here and we have that video running on demand at Locomotion (Home | Locomotion) where I volunteer. I never tire of...
Vitreous enamel is, essentially, fused glass. It's not a paint of any sort. VHT (Very High Temperature) enamel is available in a restricted range...
Well it must be, otherwise how does the gas get from the cylinder to the lamp, if not by a pressure differential? Not only is it 'pressure', it's...
Stuff like burners, I put in neat vinegar (the cheaper the better, I find!) for no more than 30 minutes. Then I use my fingers and thumbs to rub...
In theory, you shouldn't need to use many tools to dismantle a Tilley. If it's knurled that means it's hand or finger-tight: if it has flats then...
Whatever you like, Bob - take a quick photograph of it now on the tripod and post it on the day. Anything, really. But it's reminded me to take a...
Good advice from Henry. :thumbup: If you want to replace the globe, I believe someone is advertising them in the Trading Post for a very...
:shock: There'll be complaints! ;) :lol: Looks OK to me so far. I think that paint shade is truer to the original than others we've seen - as far...
Yup - perhaps I should have said perpendicular or something...
Indulge me - are the ones with vertical flutes earlier, then?
I'm now in a position to begin packing and posting the last few items - many thanks for your patience, folks, if your lantern's in the final...
Those two characteristics are probably why the military bought them in such huge numbers... :thumbup:
Separate names with a comma.
