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.
