I got this old 1950s Tilley X246A paraffin (kerosene) pressure lamp at an auction a while back, and thought it would make a decent restoration project. • • I was tempted to go all in on it and strip off the paint etc, but the lamp wasn't in bad shape. I like things to have a bit of wear and history to them, so I decided to just polish it up, replace the seals and get it cleaned up and working again. • • Timestamps: • • 00:00 Introduction • 00:48 Stripping the Lamp • 01:47 Vapouriser and Valve Assembly • 03:08 Burner Assembly • 04:07 Pressure Pump Assembly • 05:26 Cleaning it All • 07:10 Clearing the Vapouriser • 08:37 Reassembling the Lamp • 16:38 Testing the Lamp • 18:43 Fitting the New Mantle • 19:36 Lighting the Lamp
