I have one...possibly the hardest colour to find. The pale blue vent is hard to find, but you would have to consider that colour common compared...
NOS generators will come in handy - all are hard to find now. The 238B gen is rarer than the actual lantern....amazing find!!
Colin, thanks for your very kind and detailed response re riser tube construction. You are a great asset to this forum. Now off to find the...
Nice lamp! Colin, would you mind explaining the riser tube construction? Thanks
Outback boy - I just ordered some shellite (20 litre drums) through Bunnings...took a week to come in.

I just checked the Coleman gen list and the 201 gen is the replacement for a 242K gen.
