After disassembling the lantern I discovered the injector needle control shaft had broken off :cry: I have managed to remove the lead packing...
Thanks for the info. For reference here is the lantern in it's current state. Am looking forward to bringing this back to respectable condition...
Have just acquired my first AGM lantern, a double burner. The generator needle has broken and I'm sure I could replace it with a Coleman one. If...
Definitely a lower case j without the dot.
The bottom generator is a Coleman 237 and has an "I" inscribed on the side of the jet. The top generator came in a Coleman 236 box (old stock) but...

Hi Wim, This lantern does not have any lighting instructions on the collar other than stating that it is for paraffin. It did not have a metal...
Having not found anything on the forum, does anyone have a manual including parts diagram for a Coleman 238b. I'm currently fettling a 238b that...
Lovely. Wish my lady would ask me to light up her life like this!
This lantern is my only Petromax, as they are rare in New Zealand. I am told that this variant has a rare globe cage made in 1956 - 1958. This...
A corona around the mantle is the tell-tail of a worn jet so how would you pick this up without one? Given I have never fired a lantern without a...
