Wow Moses! What a spread. It sure looks like you all had a great time. Family reunions and get togethers are really a fun thing. I miss those times. Glad you had a chance to do it.

12057dave

Thanks Robert and Andrew. Andrew. That’s a pretty cool AND bright inverted. The dogs pretty cool too

I took some time to start at the beginning 25 pages ago to get caught up. There is a lot of hilariously funny stuff on this thread. Keep ‘em coming folks. I get a big chuckle at each and every one. Jocularity, jocularity!

12057dave

Thank you John.

12057dave

Yep. I’ve been there too. I have an AshFlash 1010 that was my dads that needed a pricker rod and Whitegas Extraordinare from NY helped me out in a BIG way when I was in what I thought a hopeless situation. So yes! I wholeheartedly agree. The folks on this forum really step up in a time of need. Not ...

Unfortunately I’m spending the evening by myself again because Bless her heart my wife has been taking care of her dad for a couple weeks now. Her mom just got home yesterday from a broken hip. So now she’s pulling double duty. She’s reached her limit but she’s been a real trouper. I’ve done everyth...

All great light ups fellas. I’ll add mine to the mix. Lighting the way for those that didn’t make it home to their families. God rest their souls. From left to right. Dual Leacocks running gas. Then a Canadian 639, Canadian 237 and two 639B’s all running kero.

12057dave

. Indeed Kevin. That would look good sitting beside it’s cousin.

12057dave

A true talent that survived a hellish marriage. I will miss her too. Can I add another “HOT” to list?

12057dave

I will again thank you gents. All these bargains popping is hard on a fellas billfold

.

12057dave

Yep. That was a deal. Nice snag. I happy for you plus you saved me from going after it

.

12057dave

Dang Keith! Looks like you and the Mrs. had a great outing. The pups look happy too. And… ahhh. What was in that drink?

12057dave

Them are some cool pictures! You are a borderline storm chaser. Thanks for sharing.

12057dave

I’ve never seen one before either Jim. Cool little stove. I looked on the net and prices are all over the map. Looks like they made a three burner version also. I saw it on the Bay. The price is North of 300.

12057dave

Randy. These arrived yesterday

. All shined up and nowhere to go

. I’m going to get a lot of use out of these heaters this coming Fall and Winter. Thank you for the generous gesture. I sure do appreciate it.

12057dave

Thanks for snagging that Kraig. I had been watching this one for a time. I was hoping someone would swoop in and take it. I have the dangerous version of it.

12057dave

Howdy Ben and welcome from N.E. Ohio. You are right about all the great information available here. Read on

. I have 3 Coleman GPA’s that were my dads. All with a lot of great memories. As was mentioned. Build shelves. You’re going to eventually need them. Glad to have you here.

12057dave

Heck Rob! Those don’t look to awful bad. And the prices are decent too(shipping included). Good luck on a quick sale. If I didn’t have one already I’d bite.

12057dave

Just got me 4 yesterday. I was surprised to even see it on the shelf.

12057dave

Wow!! Congratulations right there. Thank her for her service to our country. You have every right to be very proud.

12057dave

PM coming with question.

12057dave

Howdy Tyler and another welcome from N.E. Ohio. You sure did a great job with that 220J. That paint turned out fantastic!

12057dave

Sorry to hear of the loss of your dear friend sir. I have this 639B lit for him. Condolences to you and his family.

12057dave

12057dave

Ben. So sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. Good to hear that you have so many fond memories of him. Got one lit for him. Stay strong and I will be sending prayers to you and the family in this tough time.

12057dave

Very nice Will!! I remember when I got my first kero burner. 237 it was. I was a bit intimidated by having to use a preheat cup. But when I finally tried it it’s like man do I love my kerosene lanterns

.

12057dave

Very nice Ulf! Looks like you had a very cool evening. Nice light up!

12057dave

For someone wanting a stove this here’s a deal. If I didn’t have one of each design I’d be all over both of these. Thanks for offering them here Daryl.

12057dave

Mark. Thank you for the reminder. Doesn’t take any effort to reach out. Appreciate your sentiment.

12057dave

Wow! All the right ingredients for a perfect day. Beautiful scenery, good weather, good chow and beverage and man’s best friend. Thank you for sharing!

12057dave

Excellent Ulf! Looks good and functional. I like it! Heat and a place to keep your coffee hot too

.

12057dave

Kevin! All nice stuff. I like the lanterns but the canvas stove bag is what really jumped out at me. That’s cool.

12057dave

Safe travels Kevin and Joe. Can’t wait to see your individual scores!!

12057dave

Wow Dan! A couple of great snags! That E is top shelf!! Good for you.

12057dave

Howdy Warren! And a big happy birthday to ya from temporarily warm and Sunny Ohio

. Hope you have a great day!

12057dave

Nice idea Ulf! I hope it works out for you. I’ve always wanted a sausage stuffer but to use it for making wine. Never wanted to pay up for what antique stores were asking around here. I hope you didn’t have to give to much

.

12057dave

That is cool Keith! Looks like you all are having a great time. Thanks for sharing pictures. I always enjoy when members share pics of outings.

12057dave

The catalytic head looks right to me Greg. I have two just like yours that I purchased from a forum member. As far as dating, I would guess late 60’s early 70’s. Again, that’s just a guess. Fill it up and put a flame to the catalyst. I usually wave a torch across the head and lower body to warm the ...

12057dave

Don’t have anything to add but your flower garden is gorgeous Daryl! And what a view!

12057dave

Thank you Dan! You are absolutely spot on. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading and learning from everyone who has posted their info and pictures. They have been a tremendous help.

12057dave

Hey Toby and thanks! I used Mothers from right from the beginning. Nothing for smoothing scratches. Right before plating I dipped the fount into a Muriatic/water solution very briefly and then rinsed. I did make the mistake of not making sure the inside was completely flushed of the acid/water mix w...

12057dave

Thanks for the kinds words Robert and Outlaw. I’m leery about how far I can go on polishing. On the first and third pictures you can see that the reflection isn’t quite what it could be. Maybe we can call this a 10 footer

. On to the 500 fount.

12057dave

Thank Dan and Outlaw. After careful consideration I decided to use a little Mothers. And to my delight I am pleased the way this turned out. Sorry for dragging this out but I can’t say enough for the forum members who helped out in such a big way.

12057dave

That’s a great looking trio Timm!

12057dave

Praise the Lord Brian! And my heartfelt apologies for not getting a lantern lit for your wife. No excuses. Just super glad she is on the mend.

12057dave

Well, after 15-1/2 hours I think I’m going to call it good. Still just buffed with a clean towel but I still have a little shadowing and slight blotching. I probably could continue and it’s also not as bright as I’d hoped but at least it’s not shiny Brass🙂. Thank you again for everyone’s input, enco...

12057dave

Can’t beat a good running 228 Shaun! Can’t wait to see it all groomed. I purchased some hand warmers off of Keith. Good man for sure!

12057dave

I had to log on to get a looksie of what was grilling. Whoa! That’s some good looking grub right there! Nice Bill!

12057dave

I’ll be darned Murff! Those really look good! Good to hear that the quality is up there too! Nice work!

12057dave

Thanks Timm! It’s kind of a jumbled mess but I used two Anodes and if you can see it in the picture I was able to rotate the Anodes around the fount on the Copper wire. I could tell if the Anode came in contact with the fount because the Voltage would drop do to shorting out. Rotating both ways I co...
