Can anyone identify the maker of this lamp? It's clever with an adjustable pilot wick to vary the rate of fuel vapourized into the burner to heat...
Have you considered using an old fire extinguisher fitted with a Schraeder valve? They are typically good for well beyond 100psi (6 bar) Call a...
Vim, Can you provide a link to the HS 1 and HS 2 items that you referred to? This is an uncommon item here in North America.
Sigh. Can anyone out there show me a photo of this burner in operation of a lamp? The truth be told, I'm going to sell it, but I want to make...
I agree on the second hand vapourizer issue. I have two working R55s, and I'm considering taking one to bits because I KNOW that the 169 is...
The wick carries the fuel up to the top that harvests heat and acts as the vapourizer. Mind you, this is an alcohol burner!
Great link. Merci!
I'm NOT going to talk price here, but I am going to talk value. It dawned on me today that a working R55 is worth more for its bits than as a...
This is a hybrid of sorts. Yes, it has a wick, but it uses vapour pressure to fuel the mantle. It really does deserve a home, so I'm putting it...
It's been a while, but I'm going to sell the lantern as it is. I'll post some pics in the library and the advert in the right place.
Thank you Jeff! I do like to get it right. My Tilley book left some room for doubt.
Thank you! I'm testing them before letting them go :( I'll keep some (My Aida and a 246), but I need to cut back. Oh, the KL-80 may or may not...
All good once it got going, but it needed a longer pre-heat than I gave it. My bad. Silly smoke detector nearly gave me away! No matter, I'll...
Late model TL-120 fired up fairly well. Just the usually fiddling of the vapourizer to keep it bright. I need to rinse the tank with acetone and...
I live in NW Pennsylvania immediately south (2 miles) of the NY state line. The closest towns are Jamestown NY and Warren PA. I'm one hour east...
Thank you! Grateful for Excel since I teethed on Lotus-123 :)
Thank you all! Yes, it's been a while. I'm doing stats for my research and a bit of fettling keeps me from going mad!
That said, can you refer me to anyone that could offer some help with a jamming #2 Miller burner? It's a favourite lamp that's decided to act up,...
Pity, but thank you for the warning. Something seemed wrong with the viaga remarks sprinkled through the text. Such a loss.
The International Guild of Lamp Researchers appears to have abandoned or in a state of disrepair. Does anyone know what its status is? I have...
