Thank you for this additional information. I hope you will enjoy this lamp for a long time to come. Regards, Michael
Which flea market? Was this sheer luck or do you often go there to find pressure lamps? This 40's Bialaddin has drifted quite a ways eastward I...
Adolfo, can you make pictures of the text inside the reflector, and a picture of the outside as well? And choose for large photos, not the...
What goes for most of us, goes for you too: try and find what works for you. Good luck.
Hello Cadillake, welcome to the forum. For pre-heat or priming, alcohol (álcool desnaturado). For fuel, petroleum/paraffin/kerosene (petróleo)....
Well there you go! Someone else might chip in on the plated (?) primer cup that seems rather fresh in line with the lamp.
Picture(s)?
That is the model primer cup of the wartime Vapalux E-41 and 300. It was replaced with the brass and later plated dish in 1946. Has no bearing on...
Tim, which spirit cup do you consider 'standard'? Presumably you ask in relation to a Vapa 320, the hinged pre-heater cup was the very model the...
I have been too much in shock for the past 5,5 years to respond! Indeed, the 'trash and treasure' thing, wow!
Petrol / gasoline in Dutch is called benzine, Benzin (with a capital) is german. As for the 'commoness' of petroleum, it used to be used for...
The shown lamp is a Vapalux 300 without the 'X'. The Vapa 300X is a postwar model with a new 'filligrain' ventilator in brass (albeit with the...
@WimVe Less ambitious? W&B had introduced these models already, while Korea was not forced to re-introduce the full line. That is what is meant...
I see. I fear that is only another model that is out of reach. One has to admire the ambitious gamma of Mr. Jon 's small enterprise though.
@WimVe "the special HD44" What is that, and in what context? Like this is an upcoming Christmas Special? Offered by who? Meanwhile, my hankering...
Yes Tim, your general conclusion about hoods, shades or top reflectors is correct the way I see it. Thank you for the accolade, but this exchange...
To be clear, fitment is the same based on gravity, not automaticly with size! The latter depends on inner diameters, and almost all different...
Tim, the reflector - if original issue - for the ubiquitous Tilley X246 (in any incarnation) is a case in point: they are rare as hen's teeth....
The single piece reflectors fit on any W&B lamp ever made, simply by lowering them on the lamp (with or without the bail or handle standing up)....
Tim, I think you are much on your own in deciding which shade of white you are going to use if a new coat of paint is unavoidable. In literature...
