Stamped S 29. A friend of mine give me this lamp. She was in a pitty state. See the pictures. I've to find/create a ventilator, and also make a mica or a stainlessmesh globe.
Thanks @JEFF JOHNSON & @Rangie But there is still a lot of work and research ! One question, which Coleman ventilator is 155mm diameter ? I'm thinking of fitting one on this lamp, the original Primus one being untraceable. Same for glass
That was an ingenious solution for the frame. What did you use? I have a 1001 that is almost as bad and have wondered how to fix it. A Coleman R55 generator will fit and work on these lanterns. A glass is more a of a problem. I don't know of a suitable replacement and I have been looking for a while. The only option is a mica reproduction.
I agree, a great idea to use the top of the can in that way! But everything is so super thin ?!? Have you got a tig welder? top fettle marks there I thought I saw a thread where someone had used a Veritas cap ventilator but I don’t know the size of your resurrected lantern, I’m afraid great work ! regards, pb
What a lovely gift! You are very lucky. Splendid fettling and ingenious use of the spray can. I have been testing available hoods on a primus 1050 cage, aladdin and veritas are to small, Hasag was close but no good as top cap attaches to burner. I don't have any suitable Coleman's here but an AGM 2571 was slightly to big. For a snug fit you would need to grind some notches for the clips, it looked good though.
Thanks for the informations, James ! I use the top of a spray can and a 30mm steel washer. I had to make two notches to allow passage for the air intake tubes (pictures soon) I'm working in a shipyard, and I have welding colleagues
Another possibility is a veritas superb hood, it was to small but only by 1-2 mm it felt like you could almost force it on, one might grind out to a perfect fit.
@Nils Stephenson , I use a 65mm spray can. The adjustments to be made, provide 2 notches for the passage of the air intake tubes. The detail pictures below. it requires rotating the cage/frame with the burner, and fixing with the screw on the collar in the end.
Hi @James K Can you let me know the main dimensions of a veritas superb hood, Hasag and AGM ? I'll try to build one, not a faithful reproduction, but something close. Thanks in advance.
@Sellig33 I am away from the the workshop for a week or so but I will get you any dimensions I can help you with. Meanwhile, have you seen the good photos of the blue two piece primus hood on the 1051 from Tony press in the reference galley? Given your great ingenuity and ability to weld what could you do with a steel enamel camping plate, a Tilley guardsman hood and a repro Hasag / primus top cap? James
Some news... I make a mesh stainless steel globe, it run well ! Next step, rebuild a hood ! A big job ....
@Sellig33 are you still in the chase for a top and a glass? I may have some, at least a part of them. Cheers, Francisc
