Guess what? - no globes or spirit cups... :doh:
That reminds me - I've got a leaking gland I need to attend to. Thanks for jogging my memory, Pete... :thumbup:
No need for your coat - just put the thread back on track... ;) :lol:
It was Pete (and Colin) I was asking - he was dribbling - see the current Veritas Superb thread... :D
That's a Tilltey lantern, surely... ;) :lol: I've got three incomplete Primus lanterns to give away for spares. I meant to list them today but...
Oddly enough, I found my spare 951 vapouriser this afternoon. I'll hang onto it - it's bound to come in useful one day... :roll: :doh:

Yeah, this one had been lit maybe once when I got it - if it had been a minter I wouldn't have lit it. Despite being virtually unused, it refused...
Welcome back, Jur! I think you must mean CCS - the stove site. This one hasn't been going that long - maybe 10 years now? Edit: Just checked -...
