Nice score, Tyler, I'm waiting along with Mark to see that.

Gasman64

That's a really nice plane, Mose; what a different era, when someone invested in a good tool and used it for years, and it lasted. It's only right that they have ornate touches, as no doubt skilled hands worked many a year, taking pride in their work.

Gasman64

Get the globes and caps; they will be easier to sell. We here on the forum know where to get such parts, but a prospective buyer may not, and balk at buying something that isn't complete.

Gasman64

Yes, in all the cleaned parts, the valve stem is missing; however, it was originally on the stove, in the "before" pictures. No, it looks like the valve stem is still attached to the cleaning needle. I think you have all you need to reassemble the valve and generator. Yeah, you're right, Cole, miss...

Gasman64

Interesting finds, Aaron, nice that you found some out of the ordinary stuff.

Gasman64

Great find, looks like it's in nice shape.

Gasman64

Steve, does you wife by any chance have an account on any image sharing site? I have one on Flickr, and am on there often. I would enjoy seeing old barn pictures.

Gasman64

Gasman64

Thanks, had absolutely no clue, LOL! Well, you could send him an Email.

Gasman64

Wow, quite nice, Dominic! Nice shine on that, and very bright.

Gasman64

If it is a Coleman part, William, or even any brand GPA part, it will be interesting to know what it is. Sorry I can't help you-never saw one of those before. Looks like a brass rod and tapered rubber stopper.

Several years ago, I awoke to find a bunch right outside my bedroom window...more often than not, it's deer. They like nibbling on the bushes 15-20' from the house. This is all within the borough.

Gasman64

I'm guessing that's a custom project. Who is Robert?

Gasman64

Is this Steve W. ? I met you at Gettysburg last year in the monsoon with Traci? No, I'm Steve P.; I missed Gettysburg last year, and apparently Traci, too. :( I was in Gettysburg this year, however. Besides all that, I used to work with a Steve B. from Shickshinny, of all places! He lives on Blue D...

Gasman64

Whatever it is, Marty, it's a nice one. I like the first picture of it, by the window.

Gasman64

About a month ago, I tried the online order option for Crown at Walmart, and picked up Crown for $7.64/gal.; the store is barely a mile away, so that worked out nicely.

Gasman64

Like RidgeRunner says, the plastic caps are easy to unscrew; most of mine I can do with just my fingers. Also, the plastic wears less against the brass pump shaft than the aluminum caps...looking for a bright side, I guess. What I'm really wondering is what LED bulbs I can obtain to upgrade my UP la...

Gasman64

So I stick to yard sales and the classifieds mostly. Yes, I've gotten some nice things from Classifieds here over the years. I'm not sure if you can attend gatherings (sorry, I lose track of who lives where and does what, etc.), but some of my best items are from Conventions and regional gatherings...

Gasman64

That is very nice, Logan, a great bunch of stuff there, and well deserving of the nice cabinet you display them in.

Gasman64

This is what the hobby has come to, flippers out to make a buck from hungry collectors. It's why I don't look or hunt or much care anymore. I wouldn't even go a mile for a sale where an Arc or 319 in great shape was being sold, since there's always someone who wants it badly, and with deeper pockets...

Gasman64

Yes, bad....what are you if you're in a hurry, because the bathroom's far away?

Gasman64

Here's a good site for identifying finds:

Gasman64

Hmmm, good price shipped, Jason. I paid more for mine in the store, more than a few bucks more, but it's not a place known for deals (actually is an authorized Coleman distributor.)

Gasman64

Interesting, Jason; what's the date on it? I bought a new 639 a while back (dated 5/14, bought 1/15), and it has the plastic cap. Too bad the pump tube is flared so a metal cap can't be retrofitted.

Gasman64

That looks great; what a fine, vintage item you are able to use, and I'm sure it will serve you much more in the great outdoors (I was referring to the double barrel.

)..........................the lantern's nice, too!

Tannersville, eh? I used to go to a church camp near Bartonsville.

Gasman64

Thank you, Joe, for sharing that.

Gasman64

"Crown" is all I speak, for the past several years.

The older reels should handle a 24A just fine, Timm.

Gasman64

I was going to ask if a Zebco 33 reel would work in a snowstorm, since I have one here from years ago, but I thought it was inappropriate.

Courtney, thanks for the video, despite the repeated use of a four-letter word..however, we now seem to be on the Zebco 33 reel here.

Gasman64

And just like that, a snowstorm thread turned into a mantle thread.

Gasman64

I was just on YouTube, and there's quite the dramatic video titles about this snowstorm...You'd think this almost never happens! But here in PA, we know lake effect snows in Buffalo are common; that part of the state always gets more snow, it seems.
'Tis the season for hype and drama.

Gasman64

That looks like a nice place, Jim, I can understand why you're often out there-it's a nice view. It reminds me of where I live, on the side of a hill, with a steeper part behind the house and in the woods. However, it appears you have mostly evergreens, unlike here.

Gasman64

Like Mark said, Brandon, that's quite the camp! Looks like a nice spot, and I like that tent, especially with the wood stove. Your pictures make me envious of such camping.

Gasman64

Why even bother having a discussion? Tell them to go away and never come back. Maybe you can even put up a sign saying "No Solicitation."

Gasman64

Very nice find, Tony, great that it was in your family.

Gasman64

Nice to see your success, Andy; looks like a nice tent, too.

Gasman64

Very nice lamp, Pancho, another great Tilley for your home; I like the shade on it, it looks unique.
You're so fortunate to have a wife, too, especially one that is a good cook.

Brian, I think the patches are only included the first half of the year. You should get one if you order the first few months, I'd say.

Gasman64

Nice find, Eddie, I like the blacklight picture; neat detector you have there, too.

Gasman64

Nice bunch of stuff, Chad; the vultures are already circling...

Gasman64

You never had it so good, Stovie: "You found a home in the Army!" (quote from old movie.)

Gasman64

Had to see what this was about....well, yes, I'm going to wait. Maybe I can find some things I need in stock.

Gasman64

Nice to hear from you, Chad; you didn't miss much here.

Gasman64

Cal, sorry, buddy, saw this the other day and failed to comment! Nice to see you got a good sidecar; the first one you got was sort of....cute? :oops: But now you have all sorts of room....just don't fill it up with lanterns that, uh, don't require pumping. Pancho and I are hoping for the best. :lol:

Gasman64

Good to see you got the old stove running!

Gasman64

Murff, I'd have never known, had you not had an original next to it. It looks great, I'd be happy with it.
Jim, uh,

Gasman64

Nice job on the leather pump cups, MM, and thanks for all the pictures of your method of making them.
Nice find of the iron, too!

Gasman64

Very nice, Levi, good job getting the Optimus working. The lamp looks good, too; would look even better in the house, but I know how that goes...

Gasman64

This is sad news, I feel bad for Jay. I enjoy his YouTube channel, as he's quite the wealth of information on so many cars, and has great enthusiasm for so many things automotive. Being able to visit his garage and have him tell me about whatever vehicles I like would be a great time. Once in a whil...

Gasman64

Very nice, Blake, great bunch of pictures! Looks like a nice place, and I especially like the shots of the lanterns under the canopy with the view towards the lake at sunset...or sunrise?
Looks like a good turnout, too.
