I’ll give the Harpic a try. €2.95 at the local Citimarket—can’t beat that if it works. If it doesn’t I guess it’ll just be money down the toilet...
OK, things are coming along now :clap:. My wife has a grip I never knew she had. Together we managed to get the lower vapouriser out with no...
A huge thank you to Nils and Jeff for helpful advice and information on this lantern! The project is still ongoing and I'm about to give the lower...
I am thinking of just setting the hood in a pan of citric acid solution up to the level just below the top cap. If I take care to lift it straight...
OK, I’d be willing to try that if there’s a good chance it could work. I’ll wait and see if anyone else might second that idea and perhaps give...
I was afraid of that. Anything to do with this other than chuck it or try cleaning it up and using as is? Everything else looks totally...
Whoa Nelly, on closer inspection, does it look like someone’s done a home welding job on this or is this characteristic of the craftsmanship of...
The lantern is now completely disassembled with the exception of the lower part of the vapouriser, which doesn’t want to loosen its death grip on...
Good morning, Nils! Thank you for the advice, it’s much appreciated. Below are pictures of the label and wheel. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
It sure is, and if you zoom in on the photo, you’ll see my trusty red companion is right beside me making sure everything’s OK ;).
Thanks for the tips, Jeff! That sounds similar to what I did with my recent Guardsman restoration except that I only cleaned the tank with hot...
My next project is the restoration of an old Optimus 350 CP, shown in the picture below. [ATTACH] This is how the lantern arrived. I unpacked...
Thanks, Tony! :)
[ATTACH] Guardsman restoration complete. This has been a satisfying and rewarding little project, and Ilm thankful to all who have lent some...
Update: The lantern has been running for 2+ hours right beside me here with zero issues with pressure at 2.5 bar. At the 1 hour mark the pressure...
That reminds me of the HK 150. The mantle is so close to the vapouriser you can’t keep it off of it. What would you recommend for a bulbous...
In case it’s of use, here’s a look at the mantle and its situation relative to the vapouriser. [ATTACH] Once this mantle dies the next 10 will...
Martin, that sound very well informed. The mantle is the original Luxor that came with the lantern. I re-lit the lantern last night after...
Hmm, that’s my own mind playing tricks on me when I’m writing and thinking in two languages. That part of the instructions is OK.
Erik, I think the Finnish language in the instructions is just fine. Non-native speakers of Finnish would probably never have attempted to...
