Sounds good, as he and I both need different parts I'm sure we could always work something amoung ourselves as well.

oldfox66

Looking great!

oldfox66

That is sweet! CONGRATS

oldfox66

Very nice!

oldfox66

Nice!

oldfox66

Sweet score!

oldfox66

Nice 200A, those are always good scores!

I could use the vent, bail, and the fuel jet off the Bernzo if you want to sell Rob the valve.

oldfox66

Stewart is a great guy, I've gotten some parts from him and it's worth the shipping across the divide!

oldfox66

Real nice score!

oldfox66

Hell, mine not only knew, they 'supplied the goods' and encouraged us!

oldfox66

Great little runner that always fire right up!

oldfox66

Wow! One sweet find and you get to keep it in the family.

The clocking issue isn't an issue at all if you are using a sealant on the threads. I use regular non-hardening GasOila, some here use the red hardening version like the factory used, but any will allow you to clock it properly without over tightening and it is really handy on ones that have already...

Anyone know if the generator assembly fits an Optimus 1200? Most of those parts look identical to my Optimus and I could use the gen if it would fit. Wish I could help you out with an answer but I'm not sure ... hopefully someone else will chime in for you . Thanks Ernie Actually, I found my answer...

oldfox66

Edited: two of each please

oldfox66

I would have to clean the 242 up some and make it run, they are fun little burners!

oldfox66

Looking good. I found one of those Thermos real cheap but haven't convinced myself to drive 2hrs each way for it.

oldfox66

Nice scores!

oldfox66

Amish blend- 75% pump kero and 25%CF

oldfox66

Denatured alcohol

oldfox66

Does it pump and hold pressure? Not being a smart ass here, but with any schrader valve model I put a bit of fuel in them, pump them up, and then let them sit to see if any fuel leaks out the generator tip. If it does then you need a schrader valve- I just replace the whole plastic FA tube at the sa...

oldfox66

That looks good, I've been curious to try it on a frame myself but the info I found shows it only good to under 500 degrees. I would love to know how yours holds up to a couple of firings! The ones I would be using it on only get lit for short periods for show, so if it takes a while to burn off or ...

Very nice, but it looks lonely and wants its friends in the background to join in!

oldfox66

Nice pic Brian 1am? Obviously some good times/hiss therapy being enjoyed there. I work as a night shift truck driver, delivering perishables for Walmart- so on my nights off to keep my sleep schedule on track I get up at midnight at my MIL's where we stay and make the 20 minute drive to our actual ...

oldfox66

Hanging out at the shop at 1am

oldfox66

I not only soak valve assemblies and pricker controls with the packings in place in citric acid, I run them thru the ultrasonic in it as well and have not had one damaged yet- I've done around 50 now.

oldfox66

That mica is sweet! I would have had to bring that Thermos home for that price too.
Looks like you guys had a great time, I wish we had meets like that around here.

oldfox66

To play off Ecblanks title :D This morning I polished up the 6-82 turd I picked up yesterday. It only needed a light cleaning followed quick dremmel polish to the frame and I treated the fount to a run of the highspeed buffer and some ceramic wax. It came out looking almost brand new, showing how li...

oldfox66

Nice find- the one I picked up yesterday was in its box but barely used. Must have been the weekend for turds!

oldfox66

I made a temporary adapter to fix the broken fuel stem housing to attach the packing gland nut, put on a set of HC 24's, threw a cracked Sunrise globe (kinda fits it but it will get a proper mica), and used the fuel cap off my Monkeywards iron. Other than the globe and fuel cap everything is what wa...

oldfox66

Looking good!

oldfox66

That's what you do for a good nieghbor, most of mine are nice but I do have one that it would have been- Sorry, can't be fixed. Tell you what, I'll give you $5 for it for parts......

They came with a full can of Crown and half a can of CF in the tote. Trust me, we always ask- I've gotten 4 galllons in the last 2 weeks

oldfox66

Picked these two up today from a FBMP ad for 2 lanterns for $100. I watched it for a month and when it was still up I offered her $75 since it was a 70 mile trip each way. I was halfway hoping she would say No, but she agreed. Both lanterns were her fathers, she said he bought them at the same time ...

oldfox66

Nice grab on that one Toby!

oldfox66

If Mcnairy backs ut, put me next please. Mcnairy, my wife says please buy it so I don't

oldfox66

The wife got this from the same person she got the 286 from, I just wasn't able to clean it up and take a pic the other day. Hand crafted from Az, 925 silver, kingman turquiose and real coral. I have a pin for it, need a battery for the watch, and it actually fits perfect. https://i.postimg.cc/446GH...

oldfox66

Very nice!

oldfox66

West Systems epoxy, probably G-Flex thin to allow for shock flex in use, I would expect the 105 to be overly ridgid and could create a hardspot at the repair. Their help line would tell you just what to use and how to do it right.

oldfox66

Nice pups, and a turd you don't have to clean up!

oldfox66

For those who served and more importantly those never came back, may the light forever let you know you are not forgotten! https://i.postimg.cc/zDxPRF0T/20230529-051632.jpg L: 11-41 with Combat Services decal showing service use and rebuild M: 1952 R: 9-59 200A with asset tag from Langley Air Force ...

oldfox66

Those are nice finds!

oldfox66

No such washer in the H, so your good. I have a 288 that was covere all around the rest as yours, but the inside bottom of the frame was covered as well- this was from fuel leaking out the generator due to the valve not being fully shut and it was stored with fuel in it.

oldfox66

I run mine for 10 min in the OilEater, but only for 5 min in the citric acid unless it needs a little longer

oldfox66

Nice find, keep us up on the redo!

oldfox66

That is a nice find, I'd love to come across one in the wild, especially with the WA brand- I have a ton of their Wizard tools, they were the biggest place we had local as a teenager.

oldfox66

Looks good! I have 3 to light tomorrow, 2 Milspecs and a 200A that was used on a local AF base
