Here is my refurbished AL21 (Type 1). It had lived a very hard life. The mixing tube on the burner is steel. Patent stamp. The air tubes are steel (but not the buttons) The knurled pump grip and cap are steel (as is the pump knob). Testing the burner and vapouriser. Up and running: As it came - "Old Rustbucket: A fair bit of panel beating was required (some still is... ). Note the tank dipped in lead or solder. I spent a fair bit of time cleaning up a sad solder repair and then resealing the pump boss to the tank. I had to make a new bracket for the front glass case clip, but I think I will redo this repair using a heavier steel, so more of that later. The lamp was painted with Duplicolor Engine Gloss Black. Glass supplied by @paul m; washers and seals from The Fettle Box. It's going well, but as I have another, this will go to the shelf. Cheers Tony
The AL21 is one of my favourites .. nice compact lamp and attractive design. You certainly have it fettled well as the light is very bright. Martin
Well done on another well crafted fettle and the associated detailed documentation. Another lantern from our past restored and operational for this and future generations to enjoy. Cheers Pete @Tony Press
Great photo record. Well saved. Gives a good light output, we can see what you have hiding in the dark corner behind your chair
Hmmm, steel mixing dome and air tubes. I don’t think I have seen either of those before Steel pump too.
