Damn that sucks. And I thought I scored a perfectly restorable, all original Petromax made in Germany. How the hell did someone get it to...
I recently acquired another old Petromax that is in decent condition but I found out the bottom of the tank is bulging quite a bit. It's bulging...
Is their a way to tighten the cage posts on the Petromax and the clones? Because I have a couple that have rickety posts that just makes the...
Wow, someone really did those lanterns injustice. Looks to me like he tried to make a quick buck with the spare parts he had left over....
I apply Ballistol gun cleaning solvent on all of my lanterns and never had an issue with rust including the Sea Anchor. Ballistol even does a...
Ingenious. I'm gonna go to the market tomorrow and grab a bunch of those ties. :lol:
Yeah that happen a lot to my Petromax and the clones if I use slightly dirty kerosene. The skinny little tube gets clogged up easily. When that...

Did you guys see that auction for 5 Petromax/clones? Basically somebody's whole collection including 12 Schott globes, tons of mantles, etc. They...

Great! How much would it be to ship to Los Angeles, California?
You wouldn't have a video or link to a video that shows how it's soldered do you? I've never soldered before and I'm afraid I'll mess it up....
Smart tool you got there... I think I just might need to get one. Do you know if it works with the Petromax style pump tubes? And how much would...
Hey guys, I'm back. Well I bought a really rough Hipolito and I discovered a leak in the pump tube. There's bubbling coming out of the back part...
Very nice! I hear good things about the Hipolitos. I think they were produced in Portugal until the late 90's so there are many still around in...
Yes, especially the 829 and the clones. I can't get enough of the rapid function and the Petromax style is the best IMO. Just a work of art in...
Awesome, thanks! I was afraid I had a frankenPetromax. :content:
Is this part really needed? Because I assembled my Petromax and didn't install that part but was still able to hold pressure for a few hours and...
Wow that was helpful. Does anyone know or have an old Petromax they can check?
