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...
Further to the above, I tried the entire Petromax 500 quick lite assembly on the 1200 and it does fit, albeit for the most part. The feed pipes on...
I have just scored a 1200m, that came with a new set of seals. It pressurises fine and no leaks, but the previous owner hadn't used the quick...
Nice job on the extenders @Sploosh33 . I'm absolutely terrible at soldering - I wouldn't even have attempted it!
When I converted all my Guardsman lamps to the 7" vapouriser with custom extension legs (around this time last year), I bought seven 169...
Superlative!
@Beanie Yes, I think the general consensus is they look better inverted as in your picture. But the proper way of fitting them is t'other way...
It's an insect guard and I always understood it to be fitted like this: [ATTACH] What I find curious about the Speculum 246b's I've seen, they...
@podbros Excellent, thank you. Just the kind of thing I was interested in. Might look out for one, though they're probably viciously expensive no...
I guess that Willis & Bates never tried similar, or at least didn't get anything similar to market, is quite telling perhaps!? I was purely...
@presscall Yap, anything as per similar to the Tilley 777a control cock and it's associated parts thereof. Nothing push on or meths related. I've...
@Beanie All the control cock/pump parts went aluminium by late 64 on the introduction of the B, so those are some of the last of the brass bits. I...
So as per the picture that accompanies this part of the forum - am I to assume the Tilley Paraffin Preheater is a 'one and only' design, or did...
Great research, nicely consolidated. Many thanks!
Yes there are some ludicrous asking prices for NOS lamps on there. £399 for an unused M320 is the biggest laugh though...
305's are excellent lamps, I just picked up a brace of military ones c/w original untouched accessories. First time the - imo - superior one piece...
@podbros Without doubt imo. I recently sold a 10/64 BR49A and it had no stamping, so very likely all model stamping cessated circa 4/64.
I did have a March 64 lamp some years back before selling it and it was stamped X246A. I think it was April of that year, or very late March when...
