@Simon Foxxx the valve washer for X246B is different to the X246. See images X246 [ATTACH] In these two images for X246B, you can see that...
Welcome @Khushboo the Wells lamps are good quality. Have you had it burning ?
Grit / sand blasting is O.K. on steel parts but for aluminium, brass and nickel plate, I prefer to use glass beads / ground glass. It may take a...
Also, check the needle hasn't come loose. There seems to be a lot of plating missing off the hood for such a young lamp.
Mmm, why just the 169's I wonder, after all the only difference between a 169 and a 606 is the length of the steel tube. :-k As far as I know,...
Same here, plus the fact that pressure is much cheaper than meths / alcohol. :)
@pete sav glad you you found it interesting Pete. I had to experiment quite a bit with the number of pump strokes before lighting the pre-heater...
I'd say it works best with the 500 cp jet, but it does work with others too. Second life for Butterfly
@Conny C Very interesting. Thank you.
Phoebus burner yes but compare the tank, filler cap and wood handle on this Standard table lantern Standard No.3060
Yes. It's beginning to look like I "adjusted" it too much.
Are you 100% sure? I've found the 60 degree thread angle of BSCY (British standard Cycle) is a better fit. In the past I've run a 1/2" BSB die...
Why? If you can solder the baseplate back into the tank, surely you can solder the two parts of the pressur indicator back together.
I remember them too, not least because they were "the wrong way round". Normally, the largest duck was at the bottom of the flight and they got...
Ahh, it sounds like the check valve (non-return valve) is leaking. This could be because of varnish-like residue of old fuel or debris e.g. a...
It is impossible to pressurise an "open" vessel. The valve at the bottom of the pump tube is closed off by a needle valve. You need to open it by...
Common lanterns but very rare configuration. Awesome indeed. Good score.
That's a good looking lamp, I hope you can find the missing pieces.
I think I used radiater paint on a KL80 reflector, it works fine. You may wish to adjust the handle mounts on your lantern, the reflector...
Very nice. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
