Without doubt, any brown hood in that condition, will considerably outstrip the rest of the lamp in terms of value. Slightly more so being an...
Presumably it will be the 5" versions too, I guess. But I only use the 7" on all mine, so I can't comment. I bought 7 of them last year from...
I wondered where you'd got too, Colin. Hope you're well up there? That's a nice stove and a wonderful, secluded location to use it. A friend of...
As a recent thread regarding 169 vapourisers said, Tilley are currently in the process of re-engineering their current 169 production. This is due...
@Beanie Very nice. I've had a few of those over the years and resold them. Don't sell anything currently though imo, purely a buyer's market....
......:^o:p, not really. But I had this spare 300 type hood in my inventory for a year or two now and couldn't quite decide what to do with it. I...
An M1 as I see it. They don't get as much love as they should - hence the bargains! The M320's seem to get the attention, which I only ever...
I used to smoke Rothmans 30 years ago lol, would've loved one of those 320's. Way before my time though. Don't think many exist? Never seen a blue...
I'd never of guessed - really thought it was manufactured like that! Thanks for pointing it out.
@Nils Stephenson The quick lite doesn't hit the glass, but I'm just amazed all that instant, concentrated heat doesn't crack it. The pump tube...
Oh and the quick lite works very well, but is absolutely bonkers if you ask me. How on earth the globe doesn't crack when you whack it open is...
Here are the money shots. I put a new pump leather in, adjusted the air gap down to 12mm (it was originally 17mm!) and put an Anchor sock mantle...
If you've got a bit of spare cash, it's a good time to buy now in such depressed economic times. I paid £140 this time last year for a good, steel...
It's a lottery on which ones will do it of course, I've a couple or more 300X's that are fine, but I generally buy the earlier ones with the brass...
Yes. I've had two recently that leaked like a sieve from several cracks around the base. They start at the bottom of the rim and extend upwards...
On these, the weak spot is the annealed rim around the tank base. They crack at 90° sometimes and I've had two out of a batch of 5 I bought...
Thought I'd post a quick couple of basic pictures of the lamp. It was very badly oxidised having sat in a garage untouched for over 25 years. I...
Success! I contacted Mike at Base Camp about purchasing a cleaning needle, but he said if it's seriously blocked using the needle can damage the...
Thanks @podbros. Have emailed Mike @Nils Stephenson That's good to know. I only have spare 500 needles, but I may try a well used Vapalux or...
@podbros Yes, I'd seen on the Optimus parts list the cleaning needle. I'll get one, regardless because it'll probably be good for my pair of...
