That's great, Zach, there's always something good to be found in Scripture.

Well, stranger, I've been wondering where you've been...

Gasman64

That should be a nice project, Jeremy; looking forward to seeing your creation.

Gasman64

Will, that's a nice looking shade. Thanks to the others for providing links to Menards, sizes, etc.

Gasman64

So, the verdict is, late '40s through the '80s...

Gasman64

Nifty stuff there, Mark; the "custom" 243 reflector is just your style, and the floor lamp feature looks very handy.
I'd write more, but someone needs their ears scratched...

Gasman64

Nice going, Bob; I value function over form myself. Nice to see it put to work, and that looks like some nice, albeit rugged country you're in.

Is it worth MILLIONS now like the upside down stamp?

I'd say just whatever your wife paid for it. That's definitely a disappointing discovery, though. I definitely like the special collar on that!

Gasman64

>>Jim, Probably with the "contact Seller" function? This must be something new. It was not tolerated in the past and such messages were caught and stopped. I assume because ebay was afraid of people buying and selling outside of ebay once they had each others contact information. Admittedly, it's b...

Gasman64

That's really nice, Willy. Your Mother would've been pleased.

Gasman64

It's all a matter of opinion.
EDIT: My personal favorite is the 242, mostly the B and C versions. However, not everyone's choice.

Gasman64

Reese, it was good of you to initiate that special Chapman set; I have one, and really like it.

Gasman64

:cf_welcomejump: Your thread title had me truly worried for a few moments; I thought you were having a serious health problem! As for the MilSpecs, yes, they're a bit different, but I like them, having a pair. Gently preheat the generator (careful, just aluminum), and under ten pumps. I hope you enj...

Gasman64

Looks good so far to me, Kelly; I'd be happy with that nickel.

Gasman64

Those look great, Mike, nice work on them!

Gasman64

Good for her, Greg, nice that things worked out that way.

Gasman64

Despite their punishment, they still give the rest of hunters a bad name.

SW corner of PA, roughly between Claysville and Waynesburg. I'm not sure if the OP wants the exact town mentioned.

Gasman64

Matthew, those look great; very nice work!

Gasman64

It would be closest to Bruce, but still at about a hundred miles, as the crow flies.

Gasman64

Great deal, Lee, nice 249 that you got there!

Gasman64

That's great news, Greg! No doubt you wrote them off, figuring they were long gone, but what a great surprise that is!

Gasman64

Nice work, Pancho; he owes you at least a hundred corn cobs.

Gasman64

Duane, that's one ugly wound; I sure hope it heals alright for you. No dog here, but there was a terrible incident in this area in 2017 where a vicious dog attacked children, severely disfiguring one of their faces; I think the police dispatched it on the spot. Dog's owner got 7 years probation, but...

Gasman64

The fellow who first told me about 80/20 said it was quite commonly used by the Amish in Lancaster County. He sold & serviced & modified lanterns to their requirements & provided lantern modifications for buggy use. He said most of what he modified & fabricated for buggies was for lantern heaters &...

Gasman64

VERY NICE scores you made, Kelly! Great cases, and those lanterns are nice, too.

I may as well admit that, back in January, I bought my first profane lantern, a nice 5107.

Gasman64

I just wanted to say

from another Pennsylvanian...

Gasman64

On the other hand, adding CF to kero is not common at all. However, in a Coleman GPA designed for CF, I would consider it perfectly safe. :cf_sign_huh: I've thought for years that "Amish mix" was kero with a small amount of CF added (to help extend gen. life, keep it from gunking up quite as fast f...

Gasman64

I hope it holds up for you, Eric; at least it's just kero.

Gasman64

Paul, I'm fond of citric acid. You can purchase the granular form online, and it'll keep for years in a tightly sealed container. So safe, you can even eat it, but it's hard on the teeth...

Gasman64

Superb work, Mose; I'm also fond of walnut, and wish I had just half that kind of skill.

Gasman64

Gar, I like that reflector; I need to look around here and try something similar.

Gasman64

Decent fix there, Marty.

Gasman64

Ohhhhhh, Joe.........

Gasman64

It's from an oil burning heater.

Gasman64

Real nice work on those two, Kelly! Even the pictures hurt my eyes!

Gasman64

Neat stuff, Jason, thanks for the interesting pictures.

Gasman64

That's great, Bob! I can almost hear the lawnmower...

Jim, that's a great picture, too.

Gasman64

^^^^^^^Well, good alternate purpose for the candle holder, Mark; nice that you have other sets of eyes looking for you...

I'm always on the lookout at thrift stores for things I could use in this hobby, especially stainless steel sieves for makeshift lamp shades...but no luck so far.

Gasman64

Mark, that's a nice globe, too..quite the fancy custom there! Is that one of those CNC plasma cut type of things? You definitely know who to go to for metal globes.

Gasman64

Mark, sorry I somehow missed this thread earlier....
Those look good, and looks like a nice set of them you have there. I have but one, a commercially produced screen type for 288s that was a gift to me.
I'm going to have a look around here and see what's available locally.

Gasman64

Great find, Murff! They sell those at COSTCO??

Yes, that'll look great in your shed. Carla would prefer that to girlie calendars...

Gasman64

Hoping you had a great day, Donnie; maybe you even found a nice 335, or two...or three...

Gasman64

This video depicts, in a very humorous way, how many people still act when snow is predicted here, in the NE US:

I can't understand why even long-time locals act this way...

Those lanterns appear to be pretty good; they probably won't take much at all. Some oil for the pump cup on the 200, and the Easi-Lite may need the O-ring kit (from OCP), and of course, mantle and globe. Nice gifts from your niece.

"Mostly dead?" Inconceivable!!

Gasman64

Good for you, Scott. Just be sure to find something to do to keep busy; does no good to have nothing to get up for each day.
OK, well, there's breakfast...

Gasman64

Joe, I'm sad to know of this; good, long-time friends are one of life's greatest treasures.
I'll have something nice lit up tonight (Friday.)

Gasman64

I hope you get it, Gary. I really enjoy the pair of 237s I have, especially since one is my B-day lantern.

Gasman64

from not too far away...
