thx, Keith

MiguelHerbert

Sorry, somehow I listed twice. Having a dyslectic morning.

WTB: fuel tank for 413f stove. Doesn't have to be pretty, but that would be nice.

MiguelHerbert

I'm looking for a spare fuel tank for my 413f stove. Doesn't have to be pretty, but that would be nice.

MiguelHerbert

Bob's posting yesterday of a camp oven reminded me that I have an extra one that I'm putting up for sale for the same $25 price.
It is in excellent condition, appears to maybe have had a quick test-fire, and that's it.

Shipping cost will be from 98250 for a 9 lb package measuring 14"x14"x5"

MiguelHerbert

thanks, Toby

MiguelHerbert

I'm having trouble editing the TITLE of classified ads to indicate SOLD.
I used to be able to do this, but have lost the knack.

Please make instructions step-by-step.

Thanks, Mike

Parts Sold

MiguelHerbert

Rob, sorry for the delay, I finally was able to figure out how to clear out my P/M's to make room for new commo, and am pretty sure that you are first in line for the NorthStar 2000 parts. Will get a firm shipping cost tomorrow, and advise as to same ASAP.

MiguelHerbert

Thx, Shane, will advise, as per thread posts.

MiguelHerbert

Outlaw, Rob is mulling this over, and I'm waiting for his reply. If he passes, I will advise.
FYI: shipping ESTIMATE to his local came in at $17.50, UPS. Not bad for the current crazy shipping costs. Again, this was an OnLine ESTIMATE.

MiguelHerbert

F/S: fount and misc. parts for NorthStar 2000 lantern. $25 plus shipping from 98250 (West Coast of WA State)
Gen is missing the pricker rod.
PayPal F/F is best.

Photo of quad glass chips

MiguelHerbert

One more thing: two of the quad glass pieces have a couple chips. Will provide photo soon.

MiguelHerbert

Forgot to say: shipping is from Friday Harbor, WA, and will be added to the $100.00 price

MiguelHerbert

F/S: a nice 1966 Milspec project lantern that I never quite completed. The internal fount is super-clean/tool well is chockfull/funnel is in great shape/new generator Top hat is in excellent condition--no dings or scrapes--looks better than the photo shows Fount is dent free I stripped and did a sin...

MiguelHerbert

HI KEITH, please PM, re your available vent, re: cost.
My experience with the "captured nut" is that sometimes they come lose, and go away into Never-Never Land.

MiguelHerbert

Glenn, and everybody else. I am challenged with trying to edit a Classified post to inform that the sale has been made. The best I could do was post a thread "SOLD" message. Sorry, I'll work on getting up to Tech Speed.

MiguelHerbert

I had a loose captured nut for a backup to my Milspec lanterns, and now--of course--can't find it.
Anyone have a spare they would part with?
Again, just the nut, not the entire vent.
Thanks

MiguelHerbert

Ash Flash Sold

MiguelHerbert

Bill, I am in 98250, as in Friday Harbor, WA. I do not have weight and box measurements yet, but am GUESSING that $25.00 will cover the trip for a smaller, lightweight lantern. That is a GUESS, as everything with UPS has gone up since I last did a shipping gig.

MiguelHerbert

A couple more photos

MiguelHerbert

F/S: Nice single mantle Ash Flash lantern. $25.00 plus shipping.

MiguelHerbert

I have a nice Canadian 220e project lantern that was missing a globe when I got it. Vintage: 12/1962 The fount and top hat are the super-red, almost maroon type. What would have been the CORRECT globe for this lantern? The red PYREX type, or one of the green Sunrise versions? Or, was there a specifi...

MiguelHerbert

correction, sheet metal ovens.

MiguelHerbert

Does anyone know when Coleman began the production of the foldable, aluminum ovens? The cool contraption you can put atop a 2 or 3 burner camp stove, to bake biscuits, etc., etc?

MiguelHerbert

Is it OK to list an MSR backpacking stove in Classifieds, or is that area limited to Coleman and "Coleman like GPA's only?

MiguelHerbert

Toby, if I understand you correctly, the early b's don't necessarily stick to the oldtowncoleman published "rules," right?

MiguelHerbert

This is a new post, re; my previous question about a winged fuel cap on my 220b. It was pointed out to me in the responses that I had misinterpreted the production month/date stamping. I hope you'll be patient with me, as I have dealt with a pretty gnarly case of dyslexia since childhood, and am rea...

MiguelHerbert

thanks, Bob, now that you mention it, I need to check the bottom of the fount. As I recall, there is a 6 on the right, and a one on the left. Will advise.
I'm hoping your right, as that makes the lantern even older than I thought.

MiguelHerbert

Pictured is a January of 1936 lantern.

First question: is this a 228b?

Second question: would the winged fuel cap (that came with it) be correct for this lantern?

thanks

MiguelHerbert

I only have minimal knowledge of the single mantle AshFlash lantern model 1010.

Would a generator from the two mantle series (1022 version) work in my 1010?

MiguelHerbert

I know very little about the AshFlash lanterns, but was surprised to find this "avocado" colored one.

I've only seen the dark green versions. Are these lighter ones more rare?

Thx

MiguelHerbert

Zoomkat--I'm headed for my ManCave to work on the AshFlash. Will get back to generator symptoms.

MiguelHerbert

Anybody have experience refurbishing an Ash Flash lantern generator? I'm wondering if a copper wire wrap, or a bronze wool method work?
I'm dealing with the single-mantle 1010 model.

MiguelHerbert

I just noticed the difference in the etching on these two Milspec quads.

Specially, the "FEUREX" at the very bottom of one. What is this about, and why in quote marks?

MiguelHerbert

What is the best commercial spray paint (can type) and color to match the lighter pictured 425?

I know this has been discussed in the past, but I haven't had any luck with the search engine.

Thanks

MiguelHerbert

Working on a refurb of a NorthStar 2000 lantern, and was unable to remove the generator tip. It's the tiny box-shaped gizmo, like on earlier models, but would not budge with needle nose pliers. Is it fixed in place? If so, why the box shape?

MiguelHerbert

thanks, Toby. I'm with you on not removing the check valve. But I have another "mystery" diagnosis going on, and considered doing so--only as a last resort.

MiguelHerbert

Duh--title wrong. I meant to say check valve.

So, obviously, when you use a check valve removal tool, you destroy the screen. I assume the check valve can live without it.

MiguelHerbert

I just recently started my first in-depth refurb of a NorthStar 2000. In the process, I discovered the pictured generator has a screen in it.

When did the addition of the screen begin in the Coleman generators?

MiguelHerbert

thanks, Zoomkat. I will do a throttle back test tomorrow.

MiguelHerbert

Yes, Zoomcat. It pulses the pumped up good.

MiguelHerbert

Is the rod in a NorthStar 2000 lantern's F/A tube fixed, or removable? I wanted to get to the spring to try stretching it, and can't do so.
Also: does anyone have an option, re: the 2000 series lanterns commonly having issues with mild to moderate pulsing? If so, any suggestions.

MiguelHerbert

Will a 220 generator needle assembly work in a 200a generator body? I guess I'm asking, are they the same.

MiguelHerbert

A second pic.

MiguelHerbert

Can anybody tell me what this is? My guess is it a very early 1900's vintage cook stove? Heavy duty, to say the least.

MiguelHerbert

thanks, Toby--great advice.

MiguelHerbert

Also: what is the little hexagon screw on the end of the fuel valve for? Never seen this before, either. Is it for a quick flush, to avoid a complete disassembly? Just guessing here.

MiguelHerbert

Toby, I am not able to find a theory of operation tutorial--either on YouTube, or online--for the 220b F/A tube. Can you help me out?
