It didn’t sadly … just what’s there. But it was only £10 so I’m not too disappointed … I’ll grab a repro one soon
For those who may be interested… discovered yesterday in a junk/reclaimation yard near me… a Tilley R1 that had been someone’s ornament by the...
To be honest I’m just surprised the bail was still there after a year! There were also a couple of Tilley X246As kicking around but I have enough...
Well, a slight update … I’ve been in the dark side of stoves while having a think about the Veritas. Anyway… … I found myself in Buxton which is...
Hi yes I did - and I replaced the NRV just in case with a brand new one but no joy - as I can’t solder this could be a problem lol, or I find a...
I hope not given the time and effort I’ve spent on it. That had occurred to me though - it did seem to pressurise fine when empty mind you, it’s...
Well… progress of a kind with the Veritas 350 but assistance needed. The lamp is back together and all seals are tightened etc but there’s an odd...
