Bill and his box

A recent eBay purchase, this was NOS, and I got to be the first person to fire it up, though it has needed to be fettled by somebody with more knowledge than me, I am learning what needs to be done.

Nice ! I just bought a Coleman propane powered version . It's currently completely disassembled as the gas valve is bad and lets propane through as soon as the tank is connected ! Mind Blown NOT GOOD ! I bought a replacement valve from eBay last night and will post photos of the lantern once it's back assembled and working correctly .

BTW , Mine says "Operate In Upright Position ONLY !" Laughing

Bill has been fettled, and his pump has been overhauled, once I get a fresh supply of oily 'tuff, I'll be seeing how he performs after pumping him up to full pressure. Cool Oil lamp
