    Another salvage lamp in need of a fettle :content:

    As can be seen, the glass has seen better days

    Anyway, I washed the lamp and rinsed out the tank. Applied some oil to the pump leather and performed a dunk test.....

    Bubbles :(

    Thankfully a couple of turns on the control cock gland and sorted :content:

    A smear of glue on the glass to stop it rattling, new fuel and mantle.....

    Looks good.
    Superglue does keep the globe together for a while.

    @ColinG saved from the local household waste site - spotted in the scrap metal bin. It was probably the drop into the bin that did the glass

    The glass is worth a deal more than you paid. A truly good find at that price. ::Neil::
