[ATTACH] Thanks so much for the link and information, you are braver than I am! I took some combined advice and gave the tank yet another good...
Welcome. Yet another Kiwi here. I have a couple of Canadian 249s and your one looks about right as far as the flame goes. They are notoriously...
One of these is hard enough to come by let alone three. I do keep an eye out here in New Zealand but have not yet seen any. They look very well...
I may have to lower my expectations of just how bright this lantern might normally burn. Trouble is I preceded this fettle with a Coleman 228H and...
JEFF JOHNSON@ I have not ruled out the uptake pipe and the valve. I have a few with the little filter at the tube bottom and sure see the...
You may be right. I did not remove the valve from the tank as after I had given the tank a really good clean and filled it with fresh fuel a nice...
This is my Prentiss Wabers L13. Just finished this one and it runs OK but not as well as I would like. I think the genny needs some work as it...
I have some PTFE tape for gas fittings (not the general plumbing one), the tape twirls nicely into an even string. I will give this a try as the...
Here is a Kerona NZ looking great but, alas, not working yet! [ATTACH]
I have got everything sealed and cleaned thoroughly. Fount is holding pressure well and no leaks anywhere. I have attempted to light it and all I...
I find myself increasingly preferring Kerosene lanterns for price of fuel reasons. Bunnings here in Wellington have just bunged a couple of extra...
What an exceptionally nice lantern and a great bargain at the price. Many people speak very highly of these lamps as being well made and reliable....
I will add this to the reference gallery when completed. I have started the fettle (with pictures), so-far-so-good. I managed to get the pricker...
Very nice indeed (love the blue hood). I missed out on one of these a few months back. However it was in pretty poor condition. I have never seen...
Ok. Puzzle solved. It was just a plate of decades old compressed gunk over the NRV which has a big slot in it so should be able to get it out.
Here are some more photos of said lamp since I now have it in my hands. There is at least one very strange feature of this lamp. I could not pump...
Yep. Looks very much like it. The only real difference is the shape of the valve knob, the round bakelite ones appear to be common to earlier NC...
Does this run on naphtha/gasoline or kerosene? It has the double burner Nagel Chase style burner but not the auxiliary burner tube which...
OK. I won this lamp at auction and it is on its way to me. I will post any info I glean from the markings and of course some good photos when I...
Yes, most likely asbestos rope lagging. I have always thought that the actual danger of asbestos has been overstated although I am always careful...
