Hi Bosun, for what it's worth, I had the same problem on two Tilleys last year. Both lamps were fixed by replacing the vapourisers. As Jeff...
Hi all, I managed to buy a new old stock vapouriser with the brass base and also a new one from Tilley. I've tried both on the lamp and they...
Many thanks, pb Dave
Hi pb, Why do vapourisers swell at the end? Is it because for some reason, they overheat. Is it to do with carbon build-up on the pricker? Dave.
Hi MG, I may be wrong but is it weld. It's just that I remember seeing a thread regards welding at the base. If you search this recent post,...
Sounds sensible to me. Thanks Jeremy.
That's what I thought but wasn't too sure. I have a X246b (dom 07/04) which had a cracked glass which was made in the EC. I've sinced replaced...

Hi Roger,

Many thanks Tony, I was thinking about stripping the burner down after reading Jeffs mention about the mixing tube loose inside the dome. Have...
I'll check the pricker wires although I'm puzzled because both the vapourisers are brand new and unused. One is a new very old stock with the...
I've now got three Tilley Guardsmen lamps. One of the Guardsmen has hardly ever been used (it still looks new) and the other two I've stripped...
Many thanks Tony. Regards, Dave.
I'd really like some reference shots to see how the X246 Guardsman evolved. Many thanks. Regards, Dave.
Mine has no date stamp underneath, just made in england. The fount has tilley england around the side plus the owl logo.
It was given to me by a family member who hadn't used it for about ten years. The frame was pitted due to corrosion so I had to rub it down to...
Hi Gary, I don't know why it's missing. I noticed when rubbing the frame down that there was one on at some time. It's been very neatly cut off...
Guardsman not used for at least ten years. The frame was in an extremely rusty state so I rubbed down smooth and left in a rust dissolving...
I must keep them separate!!!!
