It's the first old stock mantle I've used as I only got into this a few years ago so only been using modern mantles. Think I may try to find some...
So technically the mantle I fitted is for a 300/400 cp lamp whereas the Petromax is supposed to be 400/500 cp. What issue may I get by running it...
Omg, what a difference a mantle can make!. My petromax cp500 clone needed a new mantle and a quick service, so when I went to find one, a mantle...

Hmmm, I have a new Petromax from the modern Petromax brand and so far everything that gets hot has come apart, so I think I will have to take a...
The pictures above show the petromax lantern with a peerless mantle which is a good mantle. On the newer lamp I have now fitted the Petromax with...
Once the ignitor dies, I'll do a full autopsy on it and try to fix it or fit a piezo spark generator in it.
Come do the conclusion that the coleman northstar is a good lamp for a modern one!.
Swaped over heads to modern lamp and used rapid burner to light the lamp which lit like a champ. Then i noticed the hole in the mantle about the...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] So same as last week but considerably colder so really had to light up more lamps. Now here's an observation....
It's white powdery deposits that seem to be inside this fount especially the top half where it must have sat with liquid inside for a long time.
I'm still working on the Aida in between everyday life. I've got some old copper irons on the way and going to solder the cracks then solder a...
I found some of the ceramic burners are not made very well and a lot of holes are partially blocked with ceramic. I used a piece of wire to clear...
