I have fired her up and she runs pretty sweetly (same brightness and sound as a 242B, which they basically are).
Another example of the Canadian made 243B from the 3/1951 New Zealand batch. Coleman NZ must have bought in a batch of this run, hence the number...
I am trying to acquire one of these models at the moment but hesitated because I considered the condition a bit rough. I am truly inspired by the...
Hi Tony, Many thanks for your sage advice. I have had good results from Rust-Oleum products in the past. I usually put the painted items in full...
I can get this Rust Oleum gold from local Bunnings. I wonder if this would be much good? It isn't VHT though[ATTACH]
Thanks Anthony. These dimensions are very useful as a guide.
Very good idea. I see some heater type propane attachments often. So maybe one of those would be near enough.
Thanks for the dimensions. I think I will end up having to fabricate something myself
I have acquired this lantern which is in mainly good nick (mechanically) needs restoring which I am really looking forward to doing. I have a...
That is an absolute ripper of a lamp. I have a pork pie TL106 but not in this condition. Congrats on a great addition.
[ATTACH] Here is a photo of the burner. Does this look like 1927 or 1933? The guy I purchased this from had been collecting a lot longer than me...
Thanks Jorg, what an excellent book. I still don't see one that exactly matches my specimen but hey that's what makes this hobby so appealing.
Yeah. That's why I asked. Because the ones I have seen look more like your one. The Q99 curled generator is supposed to be the original L427 (or...
Thanks Neil. The person that sold this one to me made a claim that it was 1933, but I didn't think that was right. Not sure, but those curly...
Just got this nice quick lite but not sure of its year of manufacture or the model number. L427? Canadian made. Any information will be most...
No surface blemishes actually quite pristine. My preference really is to have it nearest to the original condition i.e. as it came from the...
I recently acquired this Tilley TL136 and it came with the patina (on the pump and gallery) seen in the photo. Having looked at the reference...
Well I thought I had a great lantern with my 1A Aladdin until I noticed kero seeping from the fount and found many cracks in the fount even though...
Found the necessary bits to finish this 1A Aladdin, the globe is a bit strange but will do the job until a genuine one comes around. She scrubbed...
Thanks ROBBO55 I have just ordered 2x sheets of this as I think it is just what I was looking for, especially for the stove burner gaskets. I have...
