I would think a regular lantern would put out as much if not more heat than the flounder lamp. There isn't that much thermal mass to that aluminum...
Late to the party here. Not much to add to what Tony quoted except that a properly polished aluminum bowl makes a very efficient reflector. From...
There is no brightness control on a 220 of any age. Look at some of the diagrams on the Old Coleman Parts website and understand how your lantern...
@Tony Press With car, patience and determination you can untie the mantle, derust the metal fitting and tie the mantle back on. I've done 3 or 4...
It's pretty easy to make your own. Buy one of the current brass Coleman replacement fuel caps. Pick up a valve stem from your local tire shop. Cut...
Both bluing and browning are finishes used in the firearms world. The colors achieved are different, as the terms imply. Both are a form of rust....
Agee with the clean the burner posts above. Use a bottle brush or frayed, stranded wire to clean inside the burner tube. Spiders love to put egg...
Could it be you are simply not waiting long enough for fuel to reach the burner? It can take what seems like a long time for fuel to fill the...
@isfuzzy I'm going from memory here but I think some folks use a 200a jet on kero conversions. Look over on the CCF and do a search on kero...
I think it would be doable on a Coleman jet with a pencil torch because they are so small. However, Coleman generators with jet are so readily...
The T handle pump listed is for the Handy Gas Plant (HGP). It will work just fine on the lantern but is as much oversized as the iron pump is...
Up until at least WWII and perhaps beyond it was common for several state in the US to lease out prisoners for labor. In Alabama the two big users...
Miles Stair's Wick Shoppe very pleasant to deal with, quite willing to answer your questions.
@presscall Maybe Neil will weigh in on the prison story. I know it had a lot of traction at one time and there is a prison/jail in the same town...
@David Shouksmith this might be the post you were looking for COLEMAN Mils.pec Why? @presscall Lots of milspec threads going on right now. Just...
Assuming that the fount is holding pressure, most likely the fuel/air (f/a) tube below the valve is clogged. You will need to remove the valve...
Here's a stand I fabricated out of EMT (thin wall electrical conduit) for my FL6. It isn't beautiful but it gets the job done, was inexpensive to...
Colin, I'm a bit late to the party here but I would definitely give electrolysis a go for that rusty frame and collar. A 5 gallon plastic bucket...
I made no claim for any "arrangement" between the fellow making the flounder lamps and Coleman. My understanding was he was buying replacement...
@MikeO There were commercially made Coleman flounder lamps, but not by Coleman. This one is dated 3/77 on the fount.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] The tell...
