While the feet looked like they were scavenged from a military stove, the tank is definitely not from any of the US military stoves. I think it is...
That fount is way beyond salvage. I disagree with patching any rust compromised fount, but this one is far, far beyond even thinking about...
Try boiling in a pot of water. Depending on the paint used a simple boil will often loosen paint. If that doesn't help then you can move on to...
If you remove the valve from the fount, be sure you leave the tip cleaner and the gland nut installed otherwise you run a high risk of deforming...
Funnel hanger
There have been some very rare and seldom seen lanterns turned up in SA over the past couple of years.
Sounds like you may have soldered all the holes at the top of the F/A tube closed. Look at the diagrams and explanations of the F/A circuit above....
I have to disagree with Jacob. The outer tube of the fuel/air (F/A) assembly is crimped in place, ,some tighter than others, some spin some don't....
The 159 was the end of the line for table lamps. Made from 1956-71. It will run either kerosene or Coleman Fuel (CF). For kero there is a...
776 is Poloron
Tissue paper (the kid you use for wrapping presents) works as the membrane.
Anything with sharp edges/points will work better than round BBs, that's why I like burnishing shot. Knocking off the big flakes of rust before...
It depends on how rusty the fount is and how new your evap-o-rust is. Evap-o-rust is reuseable, I filter the used through paper coffee filter...
You can add a second anode through the fuel port. A longer rod that will almost (but doesn't) touch the baseplate would be good. Just be sure to...
Regardless of which paint you use, the phosphoric treatment would still be a good idea to get rid of any rust the evaporust misses. If you get the...
Tony, if it's all steel I'd look toward a 220B or 220BX, something produced in the 40s. Some of the war time stuff was all steel. Ask on CCF and...
V tip .007" and P tip .009"
Tony, one too many 0s. V tip is 7 thousandths.
PWs are great lanterns, but are a bit different from Colemans in their construction. Their weak spot is the steel valve stem. It serves as the...
If it's an AGM I'd pressure check before wasting a pair of mantles.
