Again TD , very nice .
Ive re-coed a few of these burners the one with the tank is brand new from an empty house.
You can buy all the parts you'll ever need from the UK, ,,tip a bit of metho in the cup ,,light
that then give it a few pumps works a treat imo cant get the paint stripper gun to work
though must be doing something wrong, they all need a decent polish to display
Very old Companion burner , used to sell Tilley lamps at the camping store in Canberra close to 30 years ago .
Thank god for LED lights I say .
Ill email you the best led camp light Ive come across.
The burners are a little noisey like the coleman lights of old
A great book to get hold of is by Alan Carter and has prices and pictures on all things antique
