That looks to be in fairly good condition under the dirt. There will probably still be spots in the nickel after cleaning, but that just shows...
Thanks for the extra photos. They confirm my estimate. All the parts look correct for a mid to late 1930s variation apart from the control wheel...
It would be good to see a few more detail pictures. That would help to make a better estimate. From what I can see, it looks like it could be a...
This catalogue in the reference library mentions it. They were mentioned in most catalogues from the first half of the 1930s.
Have you measured the wire that came out? I would have expected a 0.17mm wire to be able to go through the jet. A 300cp jet should be 0.2mm. Maybe...
This is actually a 1082 S, if a moderator could fix the title. Nice to see another one, as they are not that common. It looks to be in quite good...
That looks much better. :)
Nice to see another one of these. It has the original vapouriser and spirit cup too (mine was changed to 119 parts). Do you mind if I ask where...
The Px style conversions have both a larger jet and a restricted airflow. For a 300cp lamp like this the jet should be 0.3 mm. A 0.35 mm jet...
I was expecting that they would have to be restricted, as is normally done with a Px style lantern (or Primus).
Just a bit of advice. Do not use a screwdriver in the slot in the valve body. This can break off one of the sides. I always use an old drill chuck...
Interesting mantle shape and size (too small), but otherwise it looks like a good flame. Looks like a mid to late 1940s variant.
Did you do anything with the air intakes?
The seat in the filler cap is different depending on the type of air release screw fitted. Originally it was a conical end on the screw that did...
That is a very nice example and great to see. As Tony mentions, it does tend to confirm the assumption that the 200 is the model name of the...
Probably from the last few years before 1957.
Isn't it 225?
I agree with Collin. Probably designed to fit into an outdoor housing. Someone has probably electrified the housing and had this left over.
The Optimus 100N was made in Sweden.
@presscall The fuel consumption is noticeably higher with the alcohol version. There is still enough for a good night of burning, but it needs to...
Separate names with a comma.
