These things are beautiful but they have become money sinks. The price of mantles today is just stupid.
Your flame picture without a mantle shows clear yellow streaks which should not be there. That excess fuel is what is burning outside your...
That point about "Rust Bullets or Bombs" seems an interesting one. Hadn't thought about that much.
It might be interesting to put a 100 Ohm resistor on it and see what Voltage it gives then. 30-40mA would be expected if it was a perfect Voltage...
Looks nice though 3-4 Volts must have been open circuit then 70mA into a short circuit?
It says the open forum is for members to discuss anything...well here goes. We like pressure lamps, preferably fuelled by the liquid fuels, kero,...
That deserves a write up and some photos Henry! Loco7lamp went before you with some great home brew solutions.
All fine. Welcome to the Tilley lamp parts eating + money sink contest.

Aspen has gone up 30% then. £18 last time I bought any - maybe 2001.
Tilley generator, how to progress.
welcome back David.
Didn't you check this before you lit it?
It wasn't made like that. It has over heated and deformed under the weight of the hood. Possibly it was burning up in the dome at some point?...
That burner has suffered burning up in the dome. It has got so hot the brass has softened and the weight of the hood has pushed down on the air...
No I only used the pliers to take the hood and mantle assembly off. Martin K mentioned upthread about tightening the nipple while running. I have...
I do hope that is not a crack for your sake but it would explain the observations. It would need to be hot to open up and show the problem....
Yes that was my picture and it was running paraffin. I did it because it would flare up instead of running normally and it wouldn't go out as it...
If that was a crack where the upper end of the Preston loop attaches to the stem then it matches quite well with the soot blackened area in your...
Thank you. I have seen it from the air many times en route to Arlanda.
