looks like you could just flip it over

NOT !!!

SteveRetherford

so this is basicly a wick lamp , try the temp on a pressurized gas lamp ?

SteveRetherford

so i said , i think i can put a new plug on the end of the water pump cord n fix that . SHE ABOUT BLOWS A GASKET !!!! #&(_+__)(^&%@%^ i heard all sorts of crazy words :-) the pump isn't bad , it was a little water got on the connection , she doesn't get that ... prolly wants me to get rid of it all ...

SteveRetherford

she says she still smells it now

its good there wasent much flammable stuff right where it flashed over .

OK , i think i see now , the extension cord was plugged into a power bar , the power bar breaker did BREAK . i think that why the house breaker didn't blow ?

SteveRetherford

i have had aquariums all my life . water and electricity what could go wrong ??? i have had some pretty good floods , i have been shocked numerous times !!! this was a little different , laying in bed i thought i heard one of the aquariums making a weird water sound and before i knew it all the elec...

SteveRetherford

i thought i had one but its a coleman with one of those SCHOTT globes . vent is not the same .

SteveRetherford

maybe not the same brand but i got a used Mini from Ed too , unbelievable how much the little box can do

no more big tower . Ed knows his Computers !!!

SteveRetherford

SteveRetherford

SteveRetherford

Nice Find !!!

SteveRetherford

took a look inside of these as both batteries have died . it has been quite a few years since i went thru n got both of these working .......these 6 volt batteries are not cheap to replace , not so sure i will . as i have some LED flashlights for actual use now days . https://i.postimg.cc/xdvYYwJy/2...

SteveRetherford

buying n selling on the bay i do leave FB . but i go to the bank when i get home there asking for feedback for a simple deposit . i go to the Dr. when i get home they want to know how they did . tractor supply asks for the same ... we tried to leave negative feedback for an amazon item , it said our...

SteveRetherford

its been some time now . but i went to my local Ace hardware , the guy pulls out a box of bulbs . its was clearly marked on the box 2 D cells use this one and so on ..... got mine working . it was marked more about the batteries as i recall . its hard to read here but each bulb shows how many and wh...

SteveRetherford

like , UN photograph-able

SteveRetherford

the finial that Kameron is showing is correct . but the others all fit similarly . that one , you can see it in the diagram has a hex nut at the bottom of the rod . the bottom piece of the finial is hex shaped inside so it drops over the hex nut and the shade cant spin around it holds it in the one ...

SteveRetherford

OCP has a new batch of finials on the way .

SteveRetherford

inner 355 globe with a outer parchment style shade . you will want a finial to hold the shade properly .

SteveRetherford

very cool , good job !!!

SteveRetherford

ya , its lead . and in some ways a proper oring may fit best . but coleman always used flat . at least to start with

the flat gasket will easily seal to that with simple finger pressure .

SteveRetherford

that is the gasket i use the most of , fits arks , R's , turbin lamps , all the old cool stuff !!!

SteveRetherford

i dont usually try n change the CQ gasket but slap one of these on top of it , some like the orings , works fine either way ... BUT need to make its the right size so it doesnt fall off every time you open it

these will stay on .

SteveRetherford

that is some kind of a little BEAST with so many components !!! it looks far beyond my air cooled VW skills

its cool looking for sure !!!

so your a tree climber ?

SteveRetherford

Common ? i dont think so !!!

SteveRetherford

without knowing the facts it IS just hearsay !!! i have had someone send me an early ARC lamp to repair , someone else had tried to fix it first , it had so many solder repairs i just knew it was beyond my skills . it was beyond his skills too .....i looked at it like JUNK never to be fixed but some...

SteveRetherford

Well , Eucalyptus trees are stubborn !!! that first batch of shoots died from the WD , there still there dried up n black . but a new Batch of shoots has come up now .... they just got drowned with WD40 . working better than round up but may need continued treatments for a while . it cost me a boat ...

SteveRetherford

i have heard a lot about n seen his ebay stuff but i never bought anything from Bruce Kuda till recently , a repo ringed arc vent nut it was listed as his LAST ONE as a "buy it now" but it had a or "make offer" on the bay ... it wasent exactly cheap so made a lower offer and it was accepted ...........

SteveRetherford

SteveRetherford

SteveRetherford

what is that fount to the right ? it looks like a turbin fount but dont recognize the brand with that riser .. your camera does a fish eye thing or something and kinda distorts it , not sure what that is ??? i just punch my own pips / gaskets here . the rotating style works for most , but i have sin...

SteveRetherford

that is cool info i did no know Bill .

i think all i did was salt it . tacked out out on old barn board display in the living room for years . it was so long ago it was before internet !!!

SteveRetherford

SteveRetherford

OCP had 242 pinned pump assemblies with my new captive pump cups on em for 41 clams .....oh i got side tripped and come back and i still see it in my cart , but go to buy it and it says OUT OF STOCK !!! oh well , snooze ya lose .

SteveRetherford

SteveRetherford

im curious how to cure em . i did one with salt long long ago and after a long time it just kinda fell apart . it was over 60 inches long after stretched out .
