Generator now sell for more than the stove. I paid $60 ea for the last two gens I bought.

warren

Known problem with these. Even many NOS in the package have cracked over time.

warren

I'd you need a nos stove one I will send you one free.

warren

Oh for the tip cleaner if you are going to straighten it use a stove one. Much cheaper

warren

I have sold some of those pumps. Hope none I sold were for stoves. Will be more careful now.

Put your list here to let us help.

warren

If you don't need it, I'd be interested in buying it.

warren

I have clear globes and case for the 222

warren

Good job! Really unique lanterns.

warren

Buy from him via FaceBook, save him all the fees.

warren

Barrett got it right.

Do you have the case for the stove? That makes a lot of difference.

warren

The hex nut started at the end of the blue/white box and all the green boxes are hex. I have one hex in a blue/white box and will see if I can find a date. The hex is a replacement and probably 50+ years after the last lamp/lantern that used these gens was shipped from the factory. So if you want fa...

warren

That is a nice early one. Worth the effort to restore. I have NOS gen and NOS vent stud if you need them. Try and get the old stud out first. Maybe put Kroil on it for a while and may have to take to a machine shop to extract it. (Unless that is in your skill set.) I would thin...

warren

Robin I am keeping a list. Click on my name and email me your contact information (email, phone, etc). I've been running an ad for a long time in the ICCC newsletter and no contacts so far. I have 16 people on my list. I found one globe last year and the first person on the list surprised his wife f...

warren

For the main burner or the gen buttons? I have some for the main burner.

warren

That is great to know. Yes, I'd sell it. Also have a valve body without the tube attached. PM me.

warren

Hmm, I have an NOS valve like the one on the left. Just took it apart and no orifice in it either. Have you tried it? Wonder if the orifice down in the brass body? Would like to know. I have a valve but no stove.

warren

Not sure how that works, but this is out of a catalog I was filing away so thought you might like to see it. <a href="/files/attachments/5088121-Coleman%20956D%20tank%20catalog%20picture_800x600.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img class="bbc_img" src="/files/attachments/5088121-Coleman%20956D%20tank...

warren

Dan I'll try to see what I have. Just so much to go through. ?

warren

[QUOTE username=Rhubarb userid=2134117 postid=1310928846] Good on ya, Warren. </blockquote> As long as they pay! Only auction I'm waiting on payment for. Also remember that means 2 people thought it was worth over $200. Did anyone notice the lantern I had it display in? On...

warren

There is a really nice NOS one with the COLEMAN markings on it out on eBay now. Ends in a few days.

warren

12-32 and 10-32 and yes Dick Sellers had them made or got them somewhere. I don't think I've seen any of these for sale. That is why I think he had them done for himself.

warren

Looking at your pic that shows the gen, look near the bottom screw, looks like a little bump there. My guess is that your reflector is tweaked a little and if you straighten it out (very carefully) then then burner would be below the grate. Maybe the grate is a little bent also, but hard to tell.<br...

warren

Dick had a lot of these studs made in two different threads. You an see them in the post I just made in Just Bull. (The one I pictured below is original.)

warren

Steve I've seen the stud I pictured on many vase lamps. They are not thread but just tapered at the top. I've seen them before. Go look at your vase lamps.

warren

This is not threaded on top, it is tapered to make it easier for a finial to drop on it. It is the same "stud" that a finial for a vase lamp goes on. Someone probably added it just like Steve said.

warren

[QUOTE username=Rhubarb userid=2134117 postid=1310857502] Question, would a normal 242 style ball nut thread onto that stud that holds down the lamp holder? I have seen Coleman accessory that converts a 242 into a fashionable lamp, did this use the <span style="color: #222222; font-family...

warren

[QUOTE username=Hot Diggity userid=4990660 postid=1310857138]Interesting pieces of history there Warren. I'd guess the long stud was to enable a shade with a finial already installed to be used. Is that piece threaded into the stud, or was it made that way? Interesting that it has no threads on the ...

warren

Did some digging today and came up with these 2. Obviously used. PM me an offer if you are interested. <a href="/files/attachments/5050261-IMG_4706.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="/files/attachments/5050261-IMG_4706.jpg" class="bbc_img" alt="IMG_4706.jpg" /></a> <a rel="lightbox" href="/fil...

warren

That nut and stud are very hard to find and pricey when you do find them.

warren

[QUOTE username=Judamonster userid=4384593 postid=1310778446]I recently got a 150 cp hipolito. The pump valve does not pass air. Before I remove it and fiddle, I am wondering if the lead gasket tor the 150 cp is the same as the 500cp. THANKS!</blockquote> <span style="color: #2...

warren

Wow, great score.

warren

Don't know all the answers, but yes, there is a spring and rod inside the gen that will come out. (Or it should if not too rusted, etc.)

warren

And the USPS doesn't get it correct even when marked. I send 3 NOS 6 packs of the 5101 canisters to CA in 3 different boxes. All marked correctly, with "GROUND" and the ORM-D (Otherwise Restricted Material - Domestic). Shipping showed 2 got there in 2 days and one took a week. So the 2 day ones had ...

warren

If you don't succeed I Probably have a used gen for it. Also have an NOS but sure you wouldn't want it due to price.

warren

John they will fit to use on a table, but not "tall" enough to flip over the top of the stove. (If I remember correctly.)

warren

Duane, so sorry you had issues with the pumps. I would always take them back.

warren

I vote repaint. I've seen a lot and that just doesn't look correct. have them send you a picture with the fuel cap off of that area and the bottom of the tank

warren

I have a globe for it. $25 + $9 shipping. Just shipped a couple to members and shipping was about $9 to each person.

warren

I think Cigar Mike has a couple

warren

Looks like Frabil to me. Have part of one in an original box somewhere.

warren

Take a zerk fitting and attatch to a rod and see if you can use that to push it back out.

warren

Steve I have a note in my spread sheet about some radiants back in 2010 and it says you have the heater. I'm thinking I found a heater out there and you picked it up and I got the radiants and you got the heater? (Probably due to shipping costs.) Do you remember that?

warren

The knobs/valves are a key to what model. (5, 5A, 5B.)

warren

Yes, it needs to go in that section. Steve in your main thread, can you copy my post from classifieds that tells about "the old style" gen that will also work. Just in case someone has one that can not be repaired. Then maybe a mod can move this, and delete the comments, then lo...

warren

Wow Bob that is great for this being your first heater! Way to go. You and Steve have helped us all.

I'm sure others are going to find this useful.

warren

Or just tighten and try first. I am sure that is what i had to do years ago on one.

warren

I am going to retract my statement about the 5B starting the thermo gen. It started with the 5. The 5 had a porcelain white knob but same part number as the one with the black knob. I found the 5 and 5B instructions. Also I found this statement for a #5 which should give us hope of findin...

warren

Yes, I think the 5B had the safety gen? Wonder if a non-safety would work in a 5B? Need to go check some part numbers. I hate I got him into this situation. I wonder if the nut can be taken off the knob and remove the cover/catch and then tighten the jamb nut? Many years ago I d...

warren

I would take the fuel valve apart and shoot some carb cleaner down it (don't get it on the paint!!!) before trying to back out the fuel pickup/valve. I have seen many bungs on the #16 tank spun when trying to take one apart. Another question, after it goes out and you take the fuel cap o...
