This is certainly not the remnant of a HS burner, as the wick wheel shows. I would assume that these are the remains of a Kosmos burner, as...
That seems to be a piece of the gland packing of the eccentric shaft.
That is definitely the orifice size in 1/1000th of an inch (the unit is called "mil"). The formula is: x [mm] / 25.4 [mm/inch] * 1000 [mil/inch] =...
Hello @Ramon this is not a lamp, but a kerosene pressure stove with (noisy burner), where someone has fitted a glass bulb and a kind of chimney on...
Maybe it's that thread you meant? I did this once again with an 350 HK Alladdin Petromax with a completely rotted Globe cage and missing hood....
I think that there should be a Graphite packing inside the bushing which has hardened and needs to be removed, before the shaft of the needle...
Afaik the tanks of these lamps are filled with camel hair or horse hair. The mushroom thing is known to me as to be used as tinder fungus for...
Hello @Serge I was lucky enough to aquire another one of these rare Lanterns. Unfortunately, the handwheel is missing on mine. Would you be able...
I too think that it should be an Aluminum washer. It might be hard to get it out because of the relative hardness of the metal. Maybe it could be...
@Charlie321 could you add a picture with the generator and the squeezing lead washer removed, please? Sometimes it's hard to see when all is in place.
The last picture with the lead washer squeezing out shows another one that remained in place. The fitting soldered into the tank is only the...
You're lucky that the air tubes haven't been inhabited. It would have been difficult to get them completely free again.
Watched that video yesterday. There's another Coleman lantern showing up close to the end of that movie: [ATTACH]
That's a great area there! A few years ago I was there too, travelling from Sonora via Tioga Road to Tenaya Lake (that's where I think you took...
Hello @Reinhard! Nice Lantern that you have there. Petrolamp is listed in Neils PLC as follows: "250cp as Petromax 821. Alcohol pre heat only....
It reminds me a bit of that Solex lantern, although there are some differences of course. Maybe someone has put the parts together in the past. I...
Very interesting Lamps @Reinhard , surely the biggest ones I've seen yet. I'd be interested to see the catalogue, too.
That's a very good theory @MYN . My observations definitely point in the same direction. I had an Optimus with the same “disease”: after a while,...
The unit of measurement “CP” (= Candle Power), similar to “HK” (= Hefnerkerzen), does not refer to the total luminous flux emitted by a light...
Just look at other pictures of Petromax lanterns that can be found here in the reference gallery. There are plenty of modifications as you will...
