That's a pretty good haul, there, Carlson, more gas there than me after a bowl of chili. Good you're trying something different; I don't have any stoves like that, but wouldn't mind one that uses CF in a cylinder with the pump...I forget the name of them. I had an MSR like you are describing. Prett...

You got it. Give me some time to get them sorted out. I believe I still have your address from a previous transaction.

ecblanks

Not my thing either but I would like to find a Powermax bottle to go with my 9970 mini lanterns. Great finds, CampingAz butane cans are hard to find in the states. Are you looking for a full one, or would and empty one satisfy? I don't need all of these, but I plan to start on the empty-ish ones fo...

Like most of you I am into the standard liquid fueled lanterns and stoves. Propane has its place in my collection, but I've never cared much for the aesthetic of the "modern" backpackers (these pieces are over 20 years old now!), despite how incredibly functional they are. However, it's been a slow ...

I tried to give away a box of propanes a few months ago here; no claimants. I eventually found a local recipient.

If you want the cooler I can pick it for you.

I appreciate it, but I was more just trying to ID it than actually obtain one.
Katadyn will send you a new key for the SVEA, but you're on your own for the pricker.

ecblanks

That SVEA 123 is almost priced right. At least it's in-line with ebay.
Thanks for the pic of that Hawthorne/Western Field cooler. I've been searching for a while now , trying to find a match for the cooler that we had growing up, and I think that may be it.

ecblanks

Another data point: I have both versions of the 11/41 242B; The nickel/brass fount one has a brass collar and frame, and the painted brass fount one has a steel collar and frame.

ecblanks

Free bump for 10gage. I have one of these, and just so y'all know the tank is steel so it doesn't suffer from the same stress cracks that plague the 520 counterpart. The burners are solid and it runs every bit as good as a Coleman 523.

ecblanks

Good combo right there!

ecblanks

That's a keeper, for sure!

ecblanks

Great score!I found one in an antique store one time, but passed it by it was in that bad of shape. Bottom was so rusty I couldn't make out the date.

220C653 is the "official" part number. Actually it is 220B657 and later changed to 220C657.

I've got a cap, but it doesn't have any nickel left.

Oh boy, everybody says, here comes Carlton to comment on it...
I say "nice lantern"

That is seriously the nicest example I've ever seen of "one of them".

ecblanks

Now you have me wondering. I have several gallon between the studs on an exterior wall in an out-building. I haven't even looked at it in at least three years. I'm sure it's fine, but I'll have a look and let y'all know. This is exactly how I store mine, except I don't live nearly as close to the c...

ecblanks

Very interesting piece. I've also seen a milspec with a Sears bottom on it.

ecblanks

Just curious if anyone else is into these. Picked up this model last night while buying some glue for my son's model airplane project: https://www.metalearth.com/uss-arizona Never tried one before but for $12 looked like a fun try. For guys here that like to build metal and are into war machines, su...

ecblanks

Your "Operating Instructions" will have a date code there on the bottom left of the cover page. It will not tell you the date of manufacture but will help narrow it down.

ecblanks

I think we all know the Sears models of lanterns, stove, and heaters in the 60's and 70's were manufactured by Coleman. But beyond the obvious, what "documentation" exists that proves this? Just for clarity I'm not challenging the fact, just curious to see articles or other paperwork that talks abou...

Nice, Chuck. I think I have a rough, correct vent if you need it.

I'd like to see some discussion as to the purpose of oiling the leather. Any Coleman replacements I've come across, and new ones from OCP, have little if any oil in them. Obviously they intended for you to put oil down the pump shaft, but I always assumed that was only to reduce friction between the...

Disclaimer: I have never owned a Wenzel, but I have used Wenzel parts on my Aida 1500 so I do know that they are almost identical in engineering. So from that standpoint, its just as good as a Petromax or Aida, etc. That said, my understanding is that they are known to suffer from quality issues, so...

Particularly looking for jets with part number 516-218 and/or 560. Or jet tool 516-945 and/or 5630.
Thanks

ecblanks

Well I just ripped the solder iron hook off of it. It was folded metal instead of solid brass.

THanks, Toby. I think I've about got Steve R's ready to go. I jacked up the lead seal when I was desoldering it ,and the viton seal I made for it last night didn't work out and I gave up on it for the night. But I think it's going to work out.

ecblanks

That also looks just like mine.Can you measure the pump cap?

ecblanks

I believe this is going to work. I got the old old pump desoldered and disassembled and swapped the appropriate parts. I still need to find a new leather and the stem is going to be too long, but this should work.
Standby Gasman Steve, I may still need your part if you have it.

ecblanks

That ain't a bad idea at all!

ecblanks

There may be a way. If I can get the schrader unsoldered from the old pump and get the cap off (unlikely) I may be able to use the donor pump stem and knob.

Not your fault. These things don't exactly have model numbers so I should have been more diligent with measurements.

Thanks, Steve! I'll be sure to compare measurements this time.

ecblanks

Thanks, Chuck. I should be down either 2nd or 3rd week of October.

Bump, and still looking. The one Steve sent me was too big

ok . but not sure its correct . but screws in nice . i think its supposed to be tapered threads but these look straight ??? it screws all the way in . https://i.postimg.cc/HnWgd1zq/20230915-145650.jpg I think mine is winged and has a lead seal. Not sure what the purpose is considering you can fill ...

ecblanks

It probably wouldn't hurt to have the fuel plug in spare.

ecblanks

the pre heat shield from this may also fit your torch , under the solder iron semi ringed nut . im not sure why so many of those are missing . but cant be certain they came in so many shapes n sizes . That looks right, Steve. Let me get closure with Chuck first since I can avoid shipping with him.

Have you compared the thread size to a 427 pump tube?

I have not, and this piece isn't important enough for me to go dissecting my only working 427.

ecblanks

I'd much appreciate it, Chuck.

ecblanks

I pulled two blowtorches from my Grandmother-in-laws barn after she passed in hopes of getting one of them going. The C&L was the nicer of the two but it had a hole in the tank. No good. The other, a Turner, has a sound fount (so far), but the pump was modified to use a Schrader valve. The valve was...

"may have won"... that's a new one on me!

ecblanks

You may have to get creative. I needed one last year and, predictably, they were selling for $30 on ebay. Oddly though I was able to find a complete basket (with lid and bottom) for $12. I bought that then turned around and sold the basket and bottom for $15. Here's one, though not as cheap: https:/...

That's pretty awesome

From what little I know about these torches, its the "standard" size that you see everywhere.

Unfortunately this C&L torch that I pulled out of my Grandmother-in-law's barn has a hole in the bottom of the tank. I'm happy to send any parts, or the whole, for free. You pay shipping from 27539. The pump is not in good shape as the solder joint was bad and I reflowed it as best I could but not s...
