Agree with above, pure lye crystals from the hardware store is what I use. And of course, always add lye to water, NEVER water to lye.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I put it together today and it fits perfectly.

I'm with ya, Joe. For $35 bucks, I'd be all over that.

Thanks Toby. I have the original pricker rod so that's not a problem. Was wondering if the pricker wire is the right length, but sounds like it is.

Anyone know if the generator for an AGM 3927 is the same as a 220? I know the end of the pricker rod fitting is different, but wondering if the generator tube and tip and the same as a Coleman 220.

???

Great video. That burner is a period correct AGM. I had one of those and it landed with my buddy Joe. We just fired it up a few weeks ago.

Greg, please shoot me a PM on what you'd like to get for that globe, and I'll pass on the info. Thanks!

Will wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 1:36 am Michael~ Would you consider a trade? A sunrise for a straight line?

Will...wish I had a sunrise to trade for that, but I don't. I think he'd pay the going price for what you have, though.

Local friend of mine, sort of a collector, broke the globe on his 129 lamp and needs to replace it. Poor guy is kicking himself. Anyhow, it's a straight line logo inner globe. Anyone have one they'd part with? Please PM me if you can help.

Thanks all!

PM sent.

Yes, this is a Coleman M2A burner that was used on the bottom shelf of a field oven, as Bob said. There would have been several racks above it; more of a cabinet. I've owned a couple of these in the past and they're a really cool piece. One of those has heated my garage more than once. The later one...

Nice haul! Your torch light looks almost identical to the Gloria Model J on Terry's site, but the J that's pictured has a different burner assembly with a Q99 looking generator:

Perhaps an earlier version? Never seen one like that before.

Picked up a couple of Quicklites recently, one with no vent and the other with the wrong vent. Looking for two vents in decent shape. Have an ample amount of stuff to trade, or happy to buy for a reasonable price. Let me know if you have spares and can help out.

Thanks!

Outstanding!!!

i sent a package from California to South Africa , should have paid for air mail , i chose snail mail and it took 2 1/2 months to get there .:-) In all of the years I've been selling, I only shipped to South Africa once...and the package disappeared. Never was recovered. I sure hope for the sake of...

Thanks Ken! Serves me right for not wearing my glasses when posting photos...LOL!

Just clearing out some space in the garage. One note about the clamshell cases for newer collectors: These will NOT hold a high vent 220/228 (model E and earlier). These were designed for a 275 or 220/228F (or later). Shipping will be from 97219 and I'll find the best deal I can through either USPS ...

Maybe the founts are the same and your fount was made in 1935, but not assembled until 1936 with 242B parts? More than likely this, IMO. Someone along the line also probably put in a 200A valve stem as well. Could you post a picture of the direction disc? You said it was unlike others you'd seen. L...

Prayers and good vibes on the way...

Dean, sending prayers and good vibes to you and the family.

Outstanding! Only the second example I've ever seen of one of those. And, yours looks to be in nicer shape. Really beautiful.

Good for you, Dean. Take the time to enjoy the family and the season.

Excellent! Good work.

Hmmm...interesting. If that snorkel is loose and you're seeing fuel inside of the pump tube then there's probably a crack there somewhere in the tube and it's leaking. IMO, probably not a useable fount.

I'm not quite clear on which part inside of the fount is loose. Is it the fuel & air tube at the bottom of the valve? Or, it it the air snorkel that's attached to the end of the pump tube?

Were it me at this point, I think I'd be swapping out the generator. I'm wondering if somewhere along the line, the vaporizer opening was enlarged and you're getting too much fuel. Have you tried running it with the tip cleaning lever 1/2 to 2/3 closed? If it settles down and runs like that, then I'...

Since you are working on a '45 milspec, the disc which says "mantles" is going to be correct. At that point, Coleman was manufacturing standard 220 burners into those lanterns and so they came with a corresponding direction disc. Later, the army contracted with Aladdin to produce the single burner ...

I didn't know Phil, but very sorry to hear of his passing. My condolences to his family.

Nice project, David! First brand new pickup my dad bought when I was a kid was a '77 F-150, and I remember driving it. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

One word of caution regarding UPS....my advice is to NEVER use them for international shipping. Last time I did was a package destined for England. Logged in at Stansted Hub, then sat for months. Eventually they told me it was "gone." That's only one instance; there are a few more. Even the local UP...

Interesting. Following this Scott, and looking forward to details, photos and the outcome.

Photo?

A buddy removed a coat of paint off of a lamp just using vinegar and a rag. I don't understand this one, but certainly has to do with the paint used. I suggest starting off with the mildest method suggested and working your way up as necessary. Totally agree. Vinegar is a good place to start. Thank...

High winds in the Portland area for the past 24 hours or so. That's brought the smoke over from the east, so sky is looking pretty brown right now. I can only imagine what it's like out your way, Timm. Sending some good vibes your way...

Wow, sorry Dean. From what they've told you, it sounds like your odds of recovering hearing in that ear are pretty good, though. Got my fingers crossed!

Anytime you get a single burner stove for a buck, it's a great day....but those milspec parts for that price was a straight-up steal!!! Congrats...

Rob, I didn't get a chance to light this one so any issues may just be cosmetic. However, that cap could probably use a new gasket...?

A couple closeup well lighted pic of the decal will go a long ways to telling if it’s original. You can also remove the pump and check for any green overspray in the pump tube. Excellent advice.

Finally got this one finished and off the bench. Very lucky that there were no stress cracks in the fount and it holds excellent pressure.

Ample amount of missing plating on the top of the globe rest and top of the fount. But, hey....over 100 years and it looked like it'd never been cleaned. Go figure...LOL! Work continues...

This is on what I believe to be a Yale arc lantern. Has the one row of large holes on the collar, but is nickel plated (under a centry of dirt) and has a Coleman burner assembly.
