Those shrimp are beautiful and that comb jellyfish, wow!!!

rob_pontius

Very nice scores, guys.

rob_pontius

That's an awesome piece of history.

rob_pontius

It's looking good.

rob_pontius

Very nice. Something else to think about, the built in thermometer on the oven door is never right. I've seen may of them that were more than 50° off. Definitely use a different thermometer.

rob_pontius

They both look good to me. I'm a sucker for a mil-spec lantern or stove.

rob_pontius

Very nice indeed, Mike.

rob_pontius

Nice. That makes it look like a red Dura-Camp single mantle lantern.

rob_pontius

I like those. I may have to pick a few myself. Thanks for the link, Brandon.

rob_pontius

These are actually good runners too. Great deal.

rob_pontius

I'll take the remaining 9 mil-spec generators, Dan. PM sent.

rob_pontius

That really sucks, Jim. It looks like the other spots are right behind it too. 12-50 is my dad's birthday lantern. I finally found one with that date about a month ago.

rob_pontius

If you have some of the old bearings and a micrometer, you can buy them in bulk from McMaster Carr. I did that 2 years ago for my son's metric bicycle. None of the shops around here had metric bearings for some reason.

rob_pontius

I found one of these at an auction over the fall. It was a nice one too. I forgot all about it because my goal was a L227 that I got beat up on, but took home when it was all said and done.

rob_pontius

I'm going to check those out the next time that I'm in there. I'll pick one up just for the fun of it.

rob_pontius

I think that just about all of the old quick-lites run really quiet, lanterns and lamps.

rob_pontius

Agreed. Some see it as a hobby and have a love for it, and some see it as income. There are a lot of great people here. I've never had a Facebook account, so I don't know what happens there. I can only imagine.

rob_pontius

They made propane versions also.

rob_pontius

I agree with Randy on this one. That cap won't hold on to any of those gaskets.

rob_pontius

I'd love to find one of these, that's for sure.

rob_pontius

Those are both pretty slick. My wife even likes the 242.

rob_pontius

Nice light up. A 335 is a great runner.

rob_pontius

5 minutes. Is that a new record?

rob_pontius

Man, I wish that I were close enough to attend this. I'd be all over that hollow wire tank. I have some fixtures that would be correct for that tank. I'm sure that shipping something like that would be a very expensive nightmare.

rob_pontius

Sweet. I like it.

rob_pontius

I definitely will if we can attend.

rob_pontius

That's an unbelievable find there, Dan. Congrats.

rob_pontius

Very well done. I've never seen a 200 dated 10-50. They're all in beautiful shape too. I have a huge soft spot for a 202. I have over a dozen of them. I just picked up 2 this week.

rob_pontius

Sure thing, Kevin. Let me know what you find out. I'd be happy to help you out if I can. There's actually a Martin's store right around the corner from my house. I can stop in and look if you want.

I wish that he did. He'd get a piece of my mind in a hurry.

rob_pontius

I can see what I can find out. I'm not sure if they do any retail sales.

rob_pontius

Very true, Keith.

rob_pontius

That's messed up, Pancho. I hadn't seen those before.

rob_pontius

That's a very nice lantern. I believe that Coleman did make the globes differently to be dyed though. Where the logo is normally red, it's white on the colored globes, even the arched pyrex globes. I also wish that I had bought some when ocp had them. They had every size. They even had amber and red...

rob_pontius

I love the Northstar lanterns, both propane and dual fuel. That would go home with me for $18.00. I have a few of those cases for them. They work really well.

rob_pontius

I've come to realize that one is always bigger than the other.

Awesome light up, Alan.

rob_pontius

. No kidding. They definitely get loud once they start to howl at you. You should here the Lancaster #95 propane head when it's running. That's a different kind of beast.

rob_pontius

I really like that. Those quick releases are a great feature.

rob_pontius

. That's one loud one for sure. This was after shutting it down. You can see the max db recorded on the right side. You definitely couldn't have a conversation near it without yelling.

rob_pontius

That's a cool looking burner setup, Dave. Will you be cooking pancakes on it next month?

rob_pontius

Definitely check the screens. It sounds like you might be missing one.

rob_pontius

I have a 237 running right now. I just measured the db at 6” from the globe. My reading was 87.4db. this is one very loud lantern. I've never had one that was this loud before. My mil-spec lanterns don't even compare to this. My wife and kids came from the opposite end of the house to find out what ...

rob_pontius

If the fount isn't overfilled to the point where the fuel level is above the air tube inside, I would definitely contact Coleman for a warranty claim. As long as it isn't overfilled, it shouldn't be getting fuel into the pump tube.

rob_pontius

I have one at home that I can pass along. I can send you some pictures when I get home if you'd like.

rob_pontius

Never had an account myself. I don't regret it either. This forum is the closest that I've ever been to social media.

rob_pontius

I've never seen one in that size before. Now I'm interested in finding one also. Lol. It's a never ending rabbit hole.

rob_pontius

I would've been happy to have you stop by. I won't even go to Chicago anymore. The last time that I went, I was going to pick up a very nice Coleman camp table with it's 4 stools. I told myself at that point "never again".

rob_pontius

rob_pontius wrote: ↑Fri Mar 10, 2023 12:19 am Jim, that price is a lot better than the Coleman branded fuel canisters. The bigger one is just over $11.00 per can in my area Walmart stores. Refilling with cheaper fuel would be an option.

Very nice. I believe that depending on the year, you'll need either the red sunrise or Canadian green sunrise globe. I believe it changed sometime during the production of the red 220E. Your clocking is also 180 degrees off. The decal goes under the pricker lever. Hmmmm. MAYBE I can tighten it anot...
