It’s running well, the handle looks interesting. Can we see the burner?
Installing a mantle on a thoroughly preheated lantern is quite the skill; but at least we know the meths cup works correctly. :whistle:
Would this give off a beam or more of a flood effect?
It does indeed share a lot of attributes with other irons, knowing the French; I’d love to see what the burner looks like.
Loosen it, reposition and tighten; that may solve it; be wary of the needle.
It does sound strange, the nut that holds the two together is still tight? Its lower than the tip and needle but higher than the bung. That...
It sounds like the upper part of the vaporizer isn’t seating correctly in the lower part; a burr or dent perhaps. If needed you can remove the...

Now that is something you don’t see everyday. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] What do y’all make of that globe? With the change to the X246 one can only...
Be aware that both the aforementioned jet as well as the mantle holder/burner head have a tendency to loosen up with use, be it heat or dissimilar...
With the lamp cold do you get a steady stream of kerosene through the air gap under the hood? The manometer on the fuel knob needs to read above...
Fantastic work. You saved this for years to come.Your skill with working with thin material is to be commended.
Very well done, I never would have thought of that.
Very nice Tony, does it happen to still have the ink stamp on the bottom?
I’ll play, at first glance the tank appears to be a Canadian built Coleman 128C. Shades are a weak subject for me; I simply find one I like at a...
I think it looks good as it is; the tank has a nice even patina to it.
