45-90, I guess when I was cleaning up the 86 Browning I left one behind on the bench. So it was thrown in as a small

I would place a WTB in the classifieds. I'm betting someone here has one. Is the generator body messed up? Just the flare? Might be able to save it?

Tgarner01

Just smallish junk laying on the bench... That count?

Tgarner01

Perfect

well done Kelly!

Tgarner01

I've yet to find one, but I'm lusting after a 413B... Cast iron or nothing for ole Toby

Tgarner01

Kelly I bet you're Powerhouse fires right up. You'll enjoy it! Good runners

Singles are way easier to work on than doubles. If you've got a double and need to tear it down, it's a 2 person job, or you must have a lantern vice. Wondering why they are a 2 person job? I've FFR'd a lot of Coleman double mantles of all models with just a crescent wrench and small bench vise. Ti...

Wondering why they are a 2 person job? Getting the tip cleaner out requires the fount to be held stationary somehow...be that with a fount clamp/vise or another person holding it. I can't loosen the tip cleaner and hold the fount at the same time. After that it's a simple matter of clamping the val...

Keeps you from having to pump up the 500

The Jesse Stone movies are good. My wife likes them too...I wonder why?

So, the verdict is, late '40s through the '80s... :) I'm going to go as far back as 1927... The changeover from fiber to Bakelite valve wheels 😉... Cheapskates... 😁 For lanterns I would say 1950. No more brass founts after that point. Seems the war effort helped them along more than likely. Still a...

Neat little pellet rifle!

Jim you have the largest hands I've ever seen!!!

Tgarner01

Looking good Levi! At least you had a helper to light all those!! How many total?

Tgarner01

Dang James! Those are cool!! I like me some cast iron!!

I prefer cast burners and mixing chambers, so 1949 on single mantles... Not sure about the stoves?...

Tgarner01

If you look on the left side of each of those sites , down near the bottom.... it has the shipping measurements. I don't think the cardboard box is all that thick. Well that’s the reason I asked, everyone is calling this a 10” shade but all of the shipping dimensions are under 10” I almost forgot y...

Hmm...

The bots are adapting?

Dominic I'm not a suitcase stove expert (on anything for that matter) but I'm thinking those should have a restrictor plate on one of the burners as well? I'm forgetting which side now 🤔 BTW there's still lamps/lanterns out there... I found another good one today 😉 Must be going to pay off with a b...

" I can see that the flex hone might take some debris out of the pits, but the leather cup isn't going to seal the pits no matter what the bore is honed with." In the real world, the length of the pump cup skirt is going to seal any reasonable sized blemish in the side of the pump tube. Note that t...

That is an odd one... What did the 220A Founts look like? I don't know the Canadian stuff very well...

Nope, pretty sure I got the idea from Dominic and Chuck. I did post my 132 on Facebook back towards the end of summer and now they're everywhere over there also. Menards is probably wondering why there's been a run on shades

Well.. Menards of course...

Those are clips off of a socket rail. 1/4 drive if I remember correctly.

Tgarner01

Looking good Shawn!! You're going to enjoy it!! Bright little suckers!! I start my Kero lanterns with fuel cap loose, valve open, pricker down, and preheat going. Once the preheat is nearly done, I tighten the cap and slowly start pumping it up... I like it this way the best. If you're not hot enoug...

Tgarner01

I'm thinking Nulite?... I would

Tgarner01

Straight forward question. If you could only keep one lantern, and you couldn't sell it, which one would you keep for reliability, efficiency, aesthetics, and just plain, "I like it best for what I need it to do." My favorite of course!! https://i.postimg.cc/4dWMmCGR/PXL-20201026-211052067-PORTRAIT...

The best ones are the ones you build

Tgarner01

Scott, Larry's link you provided is the most in depth thread I had read on them. I often wondered about the air o collars myself, Altho Coleman used them for other companies as well after the air o had changed to the Quicklite collar.

Tgarner01

Looking good William!! Those small Mica shades fit the small fount lamps perfectly in my opinion. Well done

Tgarner01

Looking good Kelly! Those F/A tubes are very picky on their orfice size. Too small and you get not enough fuel and lose air pressure... Too large and you get no air on startup and basically have a Quicklite... I have had good luck with using the prickers to clean them in the past, even a fine pointe...

Tgarner01

Couple of late model oddballs John! Nice lightup

Tgarner01

I've gotten some going for friends in the past, but it was a just get them going kind of thing. I do the FFRs on my projects normally.

So you're putting that new Coleman sign to good use since you're starting up a service center

Tgarner01

Most of mine are crammed in this corner. A few lamps and lanterns in the hunting cabin as well... Not much of a display, but many have glassy eyed them, and then look at me with worry in their eyes 😂 https://i.postimg.cc/3J59gTXJ/PXL-20210224-210520529.jpg Toby, We started about the same time and y...

Glad you got it going good Bob!! They're fun ones

Tgarner01

I have to say as addicting as collecting GPAs is, it doesn't hold a candle to the camaraderie I seek out here several times a day. We all like to see what everyone is finding and working on, as well as encouraging/enabling along the way.

So... What did everyone find this weekend anyhow?...
