thanks for the link Firexit1. :content: Thanks also, Walkop. When I collected the mantle I asked for some help with the operation and...
Since last posts I have managed to locate a new-in-box mantle and metal carrier for my Veritas lamp. The seller is a small shop perhaps known to...
Aha. Again, thank you all. Ian.
Yep Fireexit, the pip is doing its job. And yep, I've already started the search. Watching a few different lanterns on Ebay here is AUS. A bloke...
Well after a short hiatus I'm happy to report that by following the excellent tips given above, my Tilley lantern is revived and no longer a...
Good viewing, thanks Jeff.
Nice, bonza. Sounds like yours get regular use. As a matter of interest, do you find kero gives the best light throw, or do you use a lamp oil?...
Some spectacular viewing. I'm sure the weather isn't always as clear as it appears in this clip. The landforms clearly give the impression that it...
Hey Toby, you could be correct. :lol: I have a feeling mine may have been used by a great uncle who toured around the countryside a bit towing a...

Wow, Is that 2s & 9d? 30 cents in AUS money. I suspect you're lucky to have 1, let alone 2. Nice stockpile Paul.
Shall do Anthony. No particularly unusual noises, that I can identify, although the pressure does seem to faintly pulse. Colin I think I might...
Many thanks David. Yes pressure is tight, the pip actually works too. I will replace the vapouriser. Is the plume a usual feature?
:content: Scandinavian genes were liberally "distributed" across the region at various times, quite apart from the northmen who liked what they...
My X246 stormlantern is the only Tilley I own, and I don't have a reference point, but looking at others' lamps in action on here I don't think...
Thank you. Appears to be a blend of Scandinavian names (not surprising after 3000 years or so of migrants passing through) and British names. You...
very nice Mr cod. When I have acquired the parts and work is in progress I will certainly post a pic.
Well mr cod and Jeff and others, having looked through that very comprehensive material in the emmens link, it does appear likely my lamp is an...
