You can clean Coleman generators. A repeated series of heat and quench cycles will break up most of the carbon build up. Unscrew the tip, remove...
The most amazing part is that the fount isn't riddled with stress cracks. Nice lantern.
Just a small radiant heater, like adding a heat drum to a Coleman single burner stove.
The biggie is that pip in the end of the valve stem. That's what controls the air/fuel mix on start up. Make sure the pip is good and the spring...
@Ulf @Seansmithwfd Ulf, I'd try replacing the packing in the pickup tube. It may be the packing restricts things enough to make a difference....
@Flygt Ken, Do you know if any of the Coleman lanterns were used by Canadian forces. I know the 500 stove with a khaki green paint (plus the...
Don't waste time or effort trying to fix that tank. Mil-specs aren't rare. Post a wanted to buy ad on the Coleman Collector's Forum....
While not in the UK, Old Coleman Parts will ship to you. You might be better off starting a new thread for your question rather than tacking on to...
On an older valve the stem tip and seat wear to each other. When you take one apart, for example to change the packing and put it back 180 out...
Tony's instructions about lapping the valve are good, but before you do try unscrewing the valve from the body slowly and carefully paying...
'Twas meant tongue in cheek Tony, but it makes you wonder why Coleman seems to have gotten it right and so many others didn't when it come to...
I wonder if AGM made founts for Aladdin?
For that amount of rust I'd certainly go with electrolysis. Here are a couple good demos. [MEDIA] [MEDIA] The first is quick and dirty, the second...
For a big kettle like that I'd set up a simple electrolysis rig. Some water, couple tablespoons of baking soda and a 12v 1a power supply. Hang a...
The shape of the holes is because Akron marketed their lamps under the Diamond Lamps brand. The square knob came about because one of the...
If it is a rare piece and you want it re-enameled send it here https://www.ipe-porcelain.com/ They will do all the prep and refinish. Excellent...
@Toby Garner I've had pretty fair luck rehabbing the baseball bat generators by unsoldering the tip, pulling out the mesh and cleaning it,...
While the feet looked like they were scavenged from a military stove, the tank is definitely not from any of the US military stoves. I think it is...
That fount is way beyond salvage. I disagree with patching any rust compromised fount, but this one is far, far beyond even thinking about...
Try boiling in a pot of water. Depending on the paint used a simple boil will often loosen paint. If that doesn't help then you can move on to...
