You have a very nice all original 310 from the first two years of production (1954-56), including (as @Henry Plews said) the correct, original and...
Try heating the nuts with a small torch then dropping water on them to crack them loose: even if you end up replacing the bolts it's worth trying...
It's generally accepted that the big dots are year and the small ones month, so yes. 315s with the cream painted tank are uncommon, and I...
Hate to say this, but you might have a cracked pump tube...
Sadly, I've been half expecting to hear this for the last few weeks. Doesn't make it any easier when the shoe finally drops... My regards and...
As Jeff says, received wisdom is that these are the transition from the pork pie to the first Guardsman x246's and they're not that common. Nice...
The generally accepted date range is 1950 to 1952.
Glad to hear Neil is still hanging on in there...( I have to say every time I see this thread updated I open it with some trepidation...) Best...
Pretty sure it's 2BA, but as @podbros said any small inch or metric screw and nut will suffice...
Torch heat and quench will free the preheater, also works for burners that are seized with rust. I had one the other day that was rusted in at...
So it is...missed that. I has spare...O:)
I suspect the preheater is a replacement circa 1950, along with the burner and vaporiser. Have a look for a patent number stamp on the barrel of...
Nice 300x and a bargain at that price. This is the first version of the Bialaddin 300x made from mid 1946 possibly into early '47, making it a few...
Indeed they are, which is a pain in the bum when you have loads of 4BA and 6BA brass screws in the stores, but no 5's. W&B seem to have had a...
Glad to be of help:content: Which 305 is it- civvie, mark 1 military or mark 2? If you're not sure post a pic or two...
Could be the non-return valve at the bottom of the pump tube is sticking- use a wide flat screwdriver down the pump tube to unscrew it. Sometimes...
Unless the glass was replaced later, the conversion must have been after 1968, as Willis and Bates didn't revert to the Vapalux brand until the...
David Shouksmith used to have a Bialaddin badged 315 lantern (the rare cream variant) with an importers sticker (Anderson of Florida), but yes,...
It depends; if the bottom is brass yes, if it's a later steel one no. The preheater is a user modification; it's probably off a Bialaddin 310. As...
As I had a W&B vapourizer with a suspected worn jet on hand , I popped the bottom off and measured the threads. Outside thread to jet cleaner...
