Anyone know the size of that O ring in the nrv? I have a complete assortment of viton rings and nothing stops the leak.
It has been interesting. I received my 0.10 mm acupuncture needles. As above in this thread, I could not get the milspec to work using the...
Hey, thanks. I have one of those somewhere!
Hey, question guys. What funnel do you use to get fuel into the 242C? None of mine fit.
You are certainly right about finding nothing around my shop to use as a pricker. That why I am soon to be the proud owner of 100 acupuncture...
Very nice. I recently found my first 242, a C from 1948. Nice quiet little lanterns.
I received two more generators today. I tried one of them. The stove would light, unlike my previous new generator, but would not pass enough gas...

I put the lantern back together and it looks very nice and is in good condition. But, it won’t light. I have fuel delivered to the base of the new...
@ROBBO55 , thanks for the offer. I am new to the milspecs, but it seems many owners could not get them to run without. We will see. I will soon be...
Thanks @ROBBO55 . It seems in the USA you have to be a licensed acupuncturist to purchase these!
I hope so. I haven’t tried mine yet. It is in pieces and some in the rust bath. I have a spare generator coming from OCP, but it seems some people...
No such luck at OCP. They don’t have them and can’t get them.
Thanks John @presscall , I didn’t see it listed at OCP but I will shoot them an email. Brad
My wife bought for me a 1956 Coleman milspec lantern. It came without tool or pricker. I understand the tiny jet is only 0.0045 inch, or about...
Very nice, Tony. A real beauty!
I have thoroughly cleaned the entire lantern including the rapid start. I am still trying to figure out how much pressure it likes to start. It is...
