I bought an ultrasonic cleaner a long time ago and still haven’t unboxed it. I was planning to use it for lamp parts, so I’ll definitely give that...
Since I’m dealing with parts that cannot be replaced, I’m taking every precaution. I have some old Tilley vapourisers and I decided to unscrew the...
Indeed, @Henry Plews . The picture posted in that thread of your broken-down Superb vapouriser is mucho helpful. I haven’t ever had the occasion...
Other parts not previously pictured. Yes, I've been inspired by Muumilaakso (Moomin valley). [ATTACH]
@Mr cod I’m puzzled then as to why @Henry Plews mentioned that “It is possible to remove the threaded brass fitting from the end of the tube like...
Here's what I've got. [ATTACH]
Is that a picture of a Coleman lantern? The parts are clearly different from what I see on my Veritas.
Well, there is a spring in the vapouriser. It comes up to just shy of the internal threads where the jet sits. If I press against it with a...
@Automedon I was actually wondering that today.
Great, @Fireexit1 :). Nice to hear from you. The NRV came out easily with the tool I made for Optimus lanterns and stoves. I’m surprised at how...
@Henry Plews Thanks for the detailed instructions. The teardown is pretty much complete at this point. I removed the fuel control assembly by...
A big thank you to @Fireexit1 and @ColinG for the information provided! I'm trying to get started with the cleanup of the lantern today and...
My next lantern project will involve the cleaning and service of a Veritas Superb. I’ve never worked on one before and, so far, haven’t been able...
Thanks. Yes, I was basically looking for any information based on distinctive features such as the knobs. Based on my limited forum reading, all I...
Have you seen a Petromax 826 like this before? I don't think I have, so if any of you could share something about the age of the lamp or anything...
Hmm, my sons and I have thought about investing in an ultrasonic cleaner for other purposes, so maybe this will finally get us to make up our...
I guess I’m not a hobbyist by that measure, then. I have a couple of favourite Tilleys that I use very frequently—many hours per week. Rather than...
I haven’t tried the tapping without having first heated & quenched, no. Should that alone allow anything to be dislodged and released? I haven’t...
Based on this it almost seems like a catch-22: a chocked-up vapouriser will either swell and fail in situ or, if serviced with heat & quench, will...
Today I’ve managed to lose an otherwise probably/good Tilley vapouriser to the damaging side effects of the heat & quench process so many people...
