I'm confused, now, Neil - who wrote that email and sent it to whom? :-k
Yep, I was thinking £30 - on a good day with a following wind! Many folk here can sell you better for half the price...
If I'm reading the second lantern patent correctly, all it seems to be patenting is a pump using o-rings in place of the traditional leather pump...
The best place to get seals etc. is The Fettlebox - see advert to the right of the page. It sounds like the pump-washer may be dry and need...
No suggestions, Bruce, other than to say that's a neatly sectioned valve you have there... :thumbup:
By the by, Trevor (Shagratork) had built up a considerable store of fuel - kerosene, Aspen, BBQ lighting fuel, industrial methylated spirits along...
Well, that very much depends on what you mean by "excess", Myn. Are you talking of shovelfuls, here? =; In reality, all you would need to do was...
It's toilet cleaner, Myn, so down the toilet is where it's intended to go - at least, when you're on mains drainage...
Er, put it down the lavatory..? ](*,) :whistle: :lol:
There's one to be had from Trevor's collection if anyone's interested... https://classicpressurelamps.com/threads/trevors-lamps-and-lanterns.17067/
I'm so glad to see what you've done with Trevor's lantern, John and it's great to see it running again - it was looking decidedly second-hand as...

Yep, exactly as I see it, Henry... :thumbup:
I agree with Jeff...
It would be nice to think that those flats/apartments had some name linking them back to Tilley but probably not. Tilley Towers, Vapouriser...
Judging by the clip handle attachment, that's a mid-late '50s Tilley X246 Guardsman - but usually at this point, someone else comes along and...
That could be a dangerous assumption, particularly as you're in the US where Coleman fuel/white gas(oline) seems to be the norm. I wouldn't let...
I think Tilley's idea was that you could use a 606 or 169 vapouriser to get a slightly shorter (606) or taller (169) lamp - your choice. You'll...
I can only speak as I found, Ian. Tightening up the post stopped the leak so I didn't bother to investigate further i.e. if it's no longer broken,...
The pork-pie X246s I've encountered similar to that one have had screwed in globe-cage posts and the thread's not a long one. One of them had a...
Separate names with a comma.
