Just for info, there is a fitting with the pick up tube screwed and soldered into the tank. The assembly block is then screwed onto this fitting....
That is very well presented with nice detail pictures. A very nice piece. It is interesting to note that one I have which matches the 1972 ad...
@ROBBO55 Thanks for that Martin. Looks like I'll have to look into this a bit more. Dating the changes in the 60s and 70s is not easy.
What evidence do you have for this? There is a lot of the later dating that is missing proof (or at least I am).
I know they do call the 930 a 300cp lamp, but in reality the burner parts are all the same dimensions as for a 200/250cp lamp. Therefore a jet of...
The bottles would have been for alcohol. Presumably for preheating the lamp. I would not expect the lamp to be converted to alcohol.
@James K Very interesting. As you can see, my 1050 from 1932 is the older design.
@James K Thanks for the replies. Interesting to note that several V marked 1050s have turned up in the UK. Are they all identical configuration...
This is the second time I have seen a 1050 stamped V with that configuration. All evidence has otherwise indicated that that configuration didn't...
I have seen letters stamped in those positions on the older Radius 119s. Not always the same letter and I have no idea what they mean. They do...
When the pressure relief filler cap was introduced, the first ones had these wings. If original to the lamp (and it looks like it), then that...
I have made my own using a 0.3mm acupuncture needle.
I'd try soldering first. Just make sure that everything is clean, both inside and out. These work on kerosene only, so there is no explosion risk...
I have finally had a look at this and from what I can see in all the images I have, the collar with the notch is only found on the last...
I would actually recommend you making your own NRV tool. The ones that can be bought of the factory original ones are not the best quality. You...
It's easy to make your own. One option is to find an old ½" socket extension that is long enough to reach the bottom of the pump tube, then cut a...
I am guessing here. Maybe it is so that there is some distance between the thread and the top mating surface to give strength, then there is a...
After screwing in this fitting, it is soldered in place.
These black painted Aladdins should be brass. I am not completely sure (no definite proof), but I believe they were available as a cheaper option...
The heater is from 1938 (AC is the code for 1938) so it is a good match for the caravan. Looks to be complete, including the guard which is often...
