Having searched through the reference gallery here and in Terry Marsh the only reference to there being a model 131 is by Terry Marsh who has a...
No preheater cup on this one. Would have to see the other side to identify. I.E any control valve?
Yep. 243B a few of them lurking here in NZ. Supposed to be a budget version of the 242B but apart from the aluminum vent and steel collar nothing...
When you get it back from the platers will you spot weld it back onto the globe rest or make some sort of clip?
I have this Optimus 930 fully fettled and running like a champion but when I received it the preheater cup was rattling around loose with no...

@ROBBO55 Here's my one just finished today. Runs like a champion, quiet and bright. My new favourite Tilley. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
@ROBBO55 You guys on this site are the real deal. What a great presentation. I have just acquired one of these BR49 Railway lanterns which is in...

This fount has been painted and lacquered and now the fount has the slightest trace of the original Coleman logo on the side but the date stamping...
OK cleaned out the fount (rattled round some nuts and bolts with white vinegar 2x, hot water and Simple Green 4x, remove nuts and bolts, plain hot...
That sounds like a lot of TLC. I hope you can get your one running nicely. I will put up a photo of my one when running (probably in the next few...
Thanks for that ColinG, I am coming to the same conclusion this sure looks like a 169K sans a pre-heater cup. A fellow collector said "Frankie"...
I have just received this Coleman table lamp which has been repainted at some stage so any info on the fount bottom is now completely obscured as...
Very interesting. I have a single burner stove made by Sunflame England so I guess the logo was used somewhat liberally.
Sunflame 110 USA made by SF Appliances N.Jersey. I have put in a comparison photo showing its bigger transatlantic cousin, the Sunflame 106 made...
Thanks Tony, great bit of information. Much appreciated.
