It took me about two years to deal with this lantern.... Anyway, now I have completely disassemble it and I am ready to put everything back with...
I see. So Petromax 350/500 get hotter than Coleman, and this causes the trouble. OK.
The situation for ceramic versus stainless steel is clear with all the above. But it remains unclear the choice of brass burners. Judging from...
Lots of interesting information. Thank you @MYN Does your comment about metallic burners include the stainless steel versions sold by Petromax?...
Ah, OK this explains why I feel it hotter. It must be the small body as the jet is new. The conical construction below the hole justifies that the...
About nozzles: this thing always works with the needles. How is it designed internally? I find it hard to believe that the needle just always...
Oh, yes, I put the ventilator after the lantern was lit and it was to hot to place it properly. I will fix this.
The mantle I use is a modern Petromax mantle for 250. I actually like the golden glow of my lamps, I am not into the whitest possible. So this is...
It took quite some time to get the needed parts for the 250 and test everything. So I cleaned the vaporizer and the Preston loop with a Bowden...
This makes sense to me @MYN because if the asbestos seals, it must come in contact with the material that is sealed, unless it does it in a very...
See, I told you I do not know the internals. But still I miss something from what you say: Assume that the lamp is in operation (lit). Alcoholic...
Oh, OK. Then only the large mantles (Petromax 500-600CP or Coleman #11) have a chance.
Ha ha ha ha, OK, you are very brave indeed! (by the way, I avoid thorium mantles too :lol: ) I have children in my house. No thorium, no asbestos.
Exactly! Which means that the fuel reaches the sealing material, and this material stops the fuel from escaping through the knob. This implies...
Great! This looks as working. So you do not tie at the bottom on the burner, you just use the thread to hang the mantle above and around the...
@WimVe Because of ignorance. Because I do not know the internals of Tito Landi. The lamp is in sound condition. It does not show any damage at all.
Thanks @MYN for the information. I do know that I must avoid breathing asbestos this is why I asked about Tito Landi. When I got that lamp I did...
Aladdins are expensive and from the ebay search I see they mostly come from US with a big amount for shipping (35 minimum). So I would maybe...
Thank you. Please do explain about the mantles/sleeves. I guess I can use Petromax or Coleman mantles which I already have instead of the peerless...
A question about asbestos: I once found a Tito Landi lamp. It is not a pressure lamp but some people here may know. It is the alcohol version. I...
