That's an X246 as has been said, typical for 1957 but you can't always tell just by a quick glance. There's actually a cross-over model between...
I'm by no means a Petromax expert - far from it - but the black stuff, if it's carbon, is probably nothing to worry about. Just clean it off. The...
I've not found that - ordinary rattle-can car body paint from Halfrauds / motor factors seems to work just fine. You're just stoving it on, in...
Lightweight... :roll: I think I had maybe 400 lamps, lanterns, heaters, stoves etc. at the height of my collecting. I bet I've still got 300-350....
:-s :? I'm confused here. I thought we had discussed (at length! :roll: :)) exactly what 'sicke' meant and come to the conclusion it referred to...

If the burner doesn't simply slide off the vapouriser you may have a bit of a problem. They do sometimes 'rust' together and the continued...

I'm glad you 'pointed' that out, Colin - I just hadn't noticed. :^o :-k How the heck have I been managing to get nails in the right way round for...

It's from an X246 and needs the screwed bush between it and the tank...
