This one seems to have been delivered only with the rapid torch. No spirit cup, and no enlarged hole for pouring in meths. The globe is...

Fantastic job, well done! Very impressive :clap: Cheers, Håkon
Thanks, I appreciate your kind comments! A little rough around the edges, and not the best aesthetically, but anyone who has worked with an angle...
I find the top reflectors for Petromax lamps to be a bit pricey, so I decided to take matters into my own hands. Had an old satellite dish laying...
That's quite a story, @george! :lol:
Thanks! Even though it was just hastily bent into shape by some scrap metal, I feel quite safe that it holds up well enough. The downward angle...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Testing the lamp in the backyard, with a very crude/simple tree hanger. Anchor 950 doing an admirable job! Cheers, Håkon
@Tony Press Should probably have mentioned it, but yes, I was thinking about Petromax for that rule of thumb. @Alby Great tip, thanks! Will keep...
Thanks for clarifying! So a general rule of thumb is simply that all 350 or 500 CP lamps will fit the same glass?
Hi. I agree, the question was poorly worded! Let me clarify: If the lamp was put away for so long that all parts that deteriotrate over time...
Thanks for your input! Assuming I can get a hold of a complete rapid heater of that old type, are the they easy to get in working order? No...
Hi, all! I am looking at an old Petromax 828 300HK at a local auction site, and the globe is missing. I am considering buying it, as I can get it...
What better way to use my newly restored Petromax 827 than to aid my stove fettling in the garage? Some washers changed on an Optimus 00. Took the...
I got a tip from a forum member to look for a number scratched on the bottom of the tank. I can see a faint «40», assuming this means it was made...
Hi. I have just restored my first pressure lamp, and am excited to have it working properly! I have decent experience with fettling kerosene...
Thanks for your input regarding transportation. I might have to reconcider this, maybe put it in a backpack instead. The hair laquer trick sounds...
Ah, yes, I agree with your approximation, but we also have to pay 25% VAT for both the lamp and the shipping, plus a fee of 130NOK for customs...
Thanks for the comparison, Christer. I see from other photos it has some extra stuff sticking out from the tank, besides the vent screw and pump....
Thanks for some great replies. This gave me a bit to think about. Even on Norwegian auction sites, I still see lots more Vapalux 320 than I do...
