Matti, is there any way you could either give me pointers on making one of these or sell me one of the ones you’ve made?
I love that this was mentioned here! I just bought a 1550 today and noticed it didn’t have the familiar tube. I thought it was missing. If I plan...
I wish I could confidently go ahead and take the vapouriser apart and clean it as advised, but the scarcity of replacement parts scares me enough...
I suppose I should think about making a new post, but for now I’ll tack on to this one if it’s OK. The lamp is mostly stripped down now and I’ve...
And before my Fettlebox order arrives I’m already needing to place the next one… I’ve seen many times that they sell graphite tape for control...
Thank you , presscall. A bit of penetrant and a 6” wrench is all it took. I wasn’t exactly sure if it came apart like a Petromax, but indeed it...
Hello, I’m the new owner of what I understand to be a very early example of a Hasag 51A that I’ve just brought home. It looks to be complete aside...
Thanks, gentleman! I’ve seen the Bullfinch glasses/globes on Tilleys here in Finland before, but not the Jena Suprax. I’ve just picked up a very...
I was given a very tired old Tilley Guardsman today in hopes of turning its life around with an extensive makeover. The first thing I did was wash...
I’ve checked out the other thread linked above and tried another two times to torch and quench the vapouriser, but it’s still blocked. I also...
Oh boy, I sure hope it's not that. It sounds like the rate of successful extraction might be very low. Is there anything about the internal...
I acquired another couple of Tilleys yesterday for renovation purposes and, superficially, they look pretty good. I don't know their history or...
I shall do that! Thanks again.
A big thank you for the help, Tony. I’m trying my best to find the gland nut on The Base Camp’s Tilley parts list but I don’t see it. Do you have...
As the title suggests, I've found myself with a Tilley X246B whose control cocks lacks a gland nut. To avoid the never-ending circus of picking up...
Ditto. Going on four days since I reached out.
This is actually something that I do. It’s my usual way of getting the parts I need. Here in Finland the X246 lanterns were immensely popular at...
As it turns out, I now have two lamps fewer than I did when I created this thread. The X246B on the left in t(e picture along with one of my...
@Henry Plews Thank you for posting those detailed photos. That looks exactly like what’s happened to my burner. I’m now burning in a new mantle,...
I had read about the “underburn” thing in another thread and, while I think I understand it, I just don’t know how that could have happened with...
