So what diameter and thread type is a jeweller's #20 thread?
That should work (as long as it is the 6145 jet). What thread did you use? I use a #2 UNF as being close enough to the original.
Another thing to put on your to do list then. A hook in the bathroom. :)
Well I have stuck to two countries; Sweden and Australia. That still leaves me way too many to collect but lets me get into more of the details...
That's going to take some polishing, but even as it is it should work better than the black paint.
If it is aluminium it would have originally been polished on the front and left matt on the back. The problem with aluminium is that it corrodes...
Ok, it's from 1936 and someone has painted the reflector at some point. Can you see what metal the reflector is made of? It should be aluminium,...
Congratulations on the find Darryl. I think you'll be pleased with it when you get it running. A couple of questions. What is the date stamp on...
The reflector looks like the ones that you could buy for an Anchor lantern. It's at least from one of the more modern Chinese brands. I havn't...
That looks pretty good to me. Well done on finding a not so common lantern. You could probably get a bit more of the old soot off the enamel with...
When you say Aladdin, do you mean the Australian Aladdin lamps? The Australian Aladdin lamps were made by Radius before WW2, then they started to...
I have never heard of Optimus being produced in Pakistan. Do you have any information about that? The Swedish made 300 and 500 cp models after...
I'll second that comment. I havn't had a problem personally, but have spoken to a few who have had a problem with this version. There never seems...
I have never understood why Optimus advertised the 930s as 300/350 cp lamps. The burner parts are identical in dimensions to the Optimus 200 (P)....
They used the single screw until 1957 (assumption) when most of their line up changed. Then they went back to two screws and kept on with that...
You're a bit off there. This one is from the end of the 60s or start 70s and it is all original. This is from the batch where it is missing the P...
Congratulations on a very nice lamp. It is from the middle of the 1930s. It is annoying that no-one is reproducing these globes, as I know of...
You find the E models in Denmark as well. Not as common as the normal model, but they do turn up.
Long tweezers are also helpful.
I know very little about Petromax and will leave it to the experts, but I believe the parts on this lamp are all pre WW2.
