I have also seen this on other enamel hoods from different brands. I assume it is an age related occurrence. A pure guess could be that there is...
I love the reflector. A nice bit of using what was at hand. I wonder how you can call tinned oysters 'fresh'. :) I would also be interested. An...
Is the J tube getting very red when it does this. It sounds a bit like it is burning back in the tube.
The pump has been hit at some time and the tank has been pushed in. Not the first Optimus I have seen where this has happened. :) You can compare...
There shouldn't be any direct flame on the glass, but maybe the angle of the quick starter is a bit off. Looking at the pump, it looks like the...
From memory, the cleaning needle for a 300cp jet is the same size as the quick starter cleaning needle. If you have a spare, you could use one and...

Does anyone know when this change would have happened. Considering these glasses were used from 1954 on when there already was an East and West...
Very nice Frederik. Good to see the nickel on the top part. :) My personal guess is that the only reason people bought these types of lamps was...
Unfortunately I can't help with the Schott logo timeline, but I'm sure someone on here can. As the model started in 1954, I would have expected it...
There is basically only one option in Denmark, but it is ideal for lamps or stoves. It is at least 93% ethanol and clear. It is called...

To the best of my knowledge, the Swiss army never used this shade and I am fairly certain that they did not use the Optimus 930. It would have...
Back when the forum was started, it was decided to put all Gloria product under the US Gloria forum, even if it was made in Australia. It can be...
