Hi I have a Willis & Bates (Bialaddin) bowl heater that was an off-whie and also a Bialaddin 315 of a similar colour and age approx 1965. Does...
@winchman The nut on that lamp looks like nylock or maybe a simmonds nut, not the lovely knurled one that should be there. Can't really see the...
Hi Thomas 1. I had a similar issue with my Coleman and needed to replace the generator (Vapouriser). Before you get to that stage and since it...
Hi Gin Tonic. A nice lamp! From my elemntary schoolboy French of about 60 years ago, the French name for what we English call "paraffin" is...
Yes! Been there done that. Bakers fluid in a cut makes lemon juice seem like a calming balm! The sellers tell me that Slosh Sealant is OK with...
So the latest toy arrived today. See picture. Sadly the glass is cracked and even more sadly, it is Durosil long bottom type and probably...

Well, I finally bit the bullet and stripped the basket apart. The original solder was higher melting point than electrical 60/40 lead/tin, so...
Welcome. Wick trimmers are available on e-bay quite readily. Hattersley and Basecamp in the UK also have them. Look on the internet for those. You...
Hi, Still getting issues with what appears to be fuel starvation after a few minutes, however, my basket seems to be a bit high. This post Aladdin...

Aladdin series 32 heater This was what I had with my Series 32. Also make sure that the wick has been pulled up to the top stops in the carrier....
Hi, I bought a series 32 a few weeks ago with a siezed wick. To get it out, I had to remove the burner basket and cut the old wick vertically in...
