Just Because…..,

Crusty 200a’s need to stretch every once in a while

For those who aren’t on any other social media, my son and myself will be attending the gathering for the first time this year. We’ve paid up and hopefully we’re there before dark on the 7th.

Cool frankie Toby!!

holliswood

Nicely done Mr. Garner!

holliswood

Those are the best!!
My son and I have more homemade cases than we do Coleman cases and that’s cool with us.

Will, did anyone give you a heads up on the tear down of these?

Just because…. Burgundy lanterns are cool too 🙂 Yes they are Fred! https://i.postimg.cc/RVjnd0Q9/IMG-2483.jpg Super bright Kevin!! How long has it been running tonight? This double mantle I just went through for my son and it’s been going around 4 hours on the initial startup pumps. Stout lanterns ...

Super nice one to find and have!
I’ve heard some say that the 413g was the peak of perfection of Coleman stoves.
Enjoy it!!

Same here John!
I started here on the forum back in 2018 and it still feels like home when I come back to visit.
That being said, it’ll be fantastic to put some faces to the fantastic people here.
Safe travels John and we’ll see you soon

I agree with this comment.

Pics or it didn’t happen bro!!

Doesn’t get any better than that!!
What a beautiful pair of lanterns!

holliswood

Thanks for sharing all of that information Timm!
I’ve enjoyed using the o-rings.
I’ve forgot to NOT use a wrench before and had a butt clinching experience lol!

holliswood

Nice addition to your collection!!
It’s tough to beat a Slant.

holliswood

Nice pictures Steve!
Since a good friend and fellow collector introduced me to the Euro stoves, the
Svea 123(r) have become one of my go-to backpacking stoves.
Simple in function, easy to service, and they don’t take much fuel to get the job done.

holliswood

M2A. Mine was simple to get going, and no thrills. If you want thrills you could light it without preheat. If you don't have instructions I can get em off mine later for you. Just air pressure, light little burner, give it a good 5 minutes to heat generator, then open valve. Personally, I would lig...

I’ll try my best to get it done before then

It might make a mean pot of chili

Looks like an M2 or M2a stove. Here's a BIN sale showing one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/133908585762?hash=item1f2d92dd22:g:KzEAAOSwlXBhbvX~&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAABILph0SirBQ%2FTGg1TcTOIVi8dmoxAhzszGP1Mw9Ru65cvXz7QlPXARdQbRJXrLKdgnesqnHzwTtxrFoj5gLXVRXN8dcC%2BdwvxADCWeXr1YT8O8DweetAzYyzvD0uptPFCQoDsNDo...

I’ll need all the luck I can get on this one I can get Robert!
I’ll hopefully have it up and going asap.

holliswood

I think that stove came out after I retired, but I'll bet any Marine Corps field kitchen could use it to turn the most beautifully marbled juicy steaks into unidentifiable fuzzy gray lumps of mystery meat. was really tempted to buy one of those until the memories started coming back to me. It's lik...

holliswood

I just winged it on mine. I was thinking they were designated M2A, but the military model numbers can get me sometimes 😁 only advice I can give is lots and lots of pre-heat. Oh boy!!!! 🤣🤣 Toby, you’re giving me loads of confidence here!! All kidding aside, I’ll make sure to document where fasteners...

holliswood

I have what I believe is a m59 stove/heater that I’m getting mentally prepared to tear down and clean. Is there any link here that is the go-to for getting these fettled and breathing flame again? As my son and I found out, it’s alot bigger than it appeared in the picture lol! We’re excited to have ...

holliswood

My wife loves the lamps and 200a’s so I’m definitely lucky as well. Even brings in a gallon or two without having to ask her.

A lot of us are truly blessed

holliswood

Sending you a pm

holliswood

Via USPS it’s the east way. DHL it’s very expensive and I don’t know their rules for GPA. I have shipped lanterns and parts to Japan but alway clean them from any fuel residue and smell. Also I tend to leave them open (fount) out for the smell to disappear a week before shipping Good info and thank...

Sounds good Duane

Just Because….

I finally got this Akron 103 running correctly after several years of off and on fettling.

holliswood

Fred I'd use pirateship and the USPS option with tracking. Might help to disassemble it and make sure it's free of any fuel order. Large zip lock bag for the fount. You could ship assembled if there is zero fuel odor. I've received them through the mail assembled. One from Canada. It was assembled ...

Seeking some information on the best company and shipping type to use on sending a 530 stove I’m trading to a fellow collector who lives in Denmark. I live in the U.S. I’m confident in being able to package it up for safe travels. I’ve only mailed one complete GPA (NC to Fl) so I’m ignorant on the b...

holliswood

Very nice Fred! The wind screens on the Euro stoves elude me. However, you shouldn't need one indoors. :) Thank you Jim! Hoping my son will enjoy them for a long time. He bought the Svea at our last Fall gathering and it was missing the flame ring but he got lucky that the wind screens were with it...

holliswood

Lots of awesome GPA’s y’all have been posting up! It never gets old seeing them. Yesterday was a good day here in NC to make some coffee and make some final adjustments to a 242c and a Svea 126L I’ve been working on for my son. He’s been bitten by the Euro stove bug as well. Hoping everyone is doing...

Lovely score!!!
They definitely don’t get much cleaner than that.

rob_pontius wrote: ↑Tue Feb 14, 2023 3:05 am I always thought that the washer was used only as needed like a shim to compensate for the depth of the valve. Some of my unfired stuff has them and some don't.

I wonder if it changed at a certain year or if it was a constant hit or miss through the years of production.

holliswood

I’ve got a 228d with a stamped burner assembly that tickles the nose hairs too

holliswood

The absolute worst smelling lantern I have has a stamped burner assembly.

holliswood

That price is absolutely ridiculous in my opinion.

holliswood

Nice looking lantern Will!!
It’s good to hear you joined the ICCC
Lots of fantastic information and great people in the club.

holliswood

The straight edged metal ruler I have looked flush all the way across by adding a washer to the valve.
Runs the same with the washer. Collar sets better on the lantern.

Thank you to everyone for the information and help!!

holliswood

Well, I pulled the cages off my 201 lanterns again, and I think I have determined why washers were placed on the machined cage stud under the cage. I removed the washers and placed a steel straight edge across the collars, with the collars in their proper location on the top of the fount. I found t...

holliswood

Thank you Andrew and Dan for the info 👍🏻 I’ll leave this one as is. Dan, this one came from a longtime collector who’s been fettling these Coleman’s for 50+ years. He’s not on the internet or social media but he can make these lanterns sing a tune. All I did was take the burner cage off and make sur...

holliswood

I appreciate all the information everyone!
I’m looking forward to reading more of it when available.

holliswood

It’s a good little runner with a newer
Peerless 2C-HG.
Thankfully the mantle gets a bit more brighter/whiter with each run.
