@M4v3r1ck @Dashwood I’m grateful for our discussion, which has resolved a longstanding frustration with this lantern. A sound suggestion, which I...
@M4v3r1ck @Dashwood Wrong! Thanks to @Henry Plews and your previous work on this model Henry, I removed the fuel pickup inlet component as you...
I’ve heard that suggestion, but I think it’s wrong. The attached file source gives a 0.005-inch orifice for a 222 lantern, opened up to...
I should add, it’s a working lantern, so the FA pickup hasn’t become dislodged and the running characteristic (a requirement for more frequent...
No, it doesn’t. I’m thinking it works as a simple atomiser. [ATTACH] I’ve restored a ‘Tillite’ pre-heater for a Tilley lantern and the...
@Dashwood I’ve had the FA pickup out for this latest discussion but can get nothing better than this enlarged, increased exposure, existing shot....
It certainly helps and is the best explanation yet. @M4v3r1ck There’s a patent number on the lantern’s collar. [ATTACH] The patent: The...

@Chokoon I’m nevertheless grateful that you responded to my observation, and the ‘distraction’ has at least wised me up to operating principles of...
Thanks for posting @Chokoon An interesting lamp indeed, reminiscent of a Tito Landi (France). Here’s mine, a naptha version, though a larger jet...
@Tony Press Not a Dargue, Tony, but on those lines. I see a (water) filler cap partially obscured by the burner stem. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
@Sammi Jane … CPL/CCS has an ease of use hard to beat, and your site’s not alone (the Coleman Collectors’ Forum springs to mind) where photo...
Sorry you’re troubled by tinnitus S-J, but glad you’ve gained a distraction with your Tilley! John
It was Iain. The 1972 cuts were a precursor to the more formal Three-Day Week implemented in late 1973 and early 1974 during a subsequent period...
Of a plated hood Tilley X246B, in THIS thread David Shouksmith saidI think they're worth having, given their rarity due to the limited production...
The pump knob is unplated brass though. Original component do you think? John
@Camp numao I’m sure your restoration will be outstanding. John
@Johan Osinga Yes, a Thermidor 303. My encounter with one is HERE. I found that the vapouriser ceases to vapourise after a while and resolved...
@Adolfo Franz Racek probably, an agent/importer for Petromax.
@MYN Would Pirhana Solution corrode the base metal, brass or steel, of a vapouriser? Thanks again for your excellent insights into such matters.
