Good job Mike. What’s the next challenge?

Super bright. Thanks for sharing with us ❤

Thankyou for the video

Great information. I’ve had a couple 200A’s that have been in my family since I was a kid. They are mine now and with some attention they both work pretty well. The generator on the older 1968 probably needs some attention, as you have shown here, since it pulses a little. Just a couple weeks ago I found a really nice 1982 200A for $8 bucks at the local thrift store. I grabbed it immediately. It had fuel in it, so I pumped it up and looked for leaks, and found none. Even the mantle was good. Threw a match in it and it lit perfectly and runs perfectly, like it was new. Score! These old lanterns are fun and bring me back to years gone by. Now on the hunt for a 236. I don’t need a 236, but now I want one, because as you say they are so easy to work on.

Soo Cool . Im getting one .. 👍👍

Those 242 lanterns are well engineered and run strong. God Bless

Good info, God Bless

God Bless, I burn in my mantles with a torch also. Nice Lamp.

2:24 was that a fart?...😮

Tenho um lampião Coleman antigo tem interesse em comprar

👍👍

Could you test a readylight compared to other thorium mantles?

To help me with the loss of my mom I found a ql 327 with the same month and year as my mom. It looked sad when I opened the package. Two days of cleaning and fixing it looks nice and works even better! Its now one hundred years old and has a repaired q99, we have match lite ignition! I think its good for another hundred years.🎉

Very interesting.. am I the only one that won't put silkys on my lanterns? I just save them. Use the new ones for testing..but they still work and why ruin them?

Would be a good time to share a tip on safety, when you are done working with mantles thorium or yitrium wash your hands. How many times have we eaten a sandwich for lunch while prepping camp for night.

THANKYOU!

Good info, thanks. I'd like to know more about your fancy tester. I want one too

Good afternoon. Very interesting video. Please take the camera off your head. I'm still dizzy...

Anymore videos in the pipelines buddy?

Just picked up a 242B unfortunately the air tube in the font was broken. I take it that it’s a parts lantern now. Or is there some way it can still be fired that I’ve not thought about. Great show keep them coming. Thanks

I just got my first two 1965 and 1969 Coleman milspecs. I tore them down, citric acid soaked all brass parts before running brushes through all of them. I also ran bore brushes through the air tubes and whatnot. Founts are squeaky clean. The fuel air tubes are both able to be taken apart so I took them completely apart, soaked and scrubbed the varnish off then I reassembled them. Both lanterns slurp and stutter, they are bright until a big knock in the fount then they spit flames for a split second. It’s like something is clogged and releasing pressure quickly then lets it build up then releases, causing them to spit, sputter and pulse. I’m at a loss as I’ve went through everything 4 times now.

Can you use unleaded fuel ?

I have often wondered about this,old school mantles,new non radioactive, powerhouse vs standard, thanks for the video.

just made an offer on one on ebay yesterday, it's shipping from Canada this week

i wanna see the finished product , please

I just picked one up and love it❤

I use the peerless 24a’s in my 236 & 237 , it bet it was huge in a 242!

Why the electrolytic bath is sandblast, evaporust?

I'm soon going to start working on a CQ lamp dated May 19, 1919. I've found a filler cap that utilizes a Schrader valve allowing the use of bicycle pump. Any thoughts on this? What pressure would you pump it to? I've refurbished a few Coleman lanterns. The latest being a 200A. This will be my first lamp project.

My 1952 runs now. Thank you

Nice 👍

so i messed up my spring in the generator trying to get it out to clean it......asked about a suitable replacement.....im impatient.....so i put it all back together without the spring....figured what the hell see if it will work or not...n how bout that it works w out the spring....i have a small surge thing but i can deal w that...its burning HOT HOT now....like it should......

so is there a suitable replacement generator spring for the 457G .....thanks Jeff

My neighbor is selling one hes up in years he wants 100 he hasnt ran it in 50 yrs he says is it worth 100?

Go Sleebus go!

What is the name of the lamp and which brand is it? Thank you in advance

I just found a beautiful all brass tank for one of these,now I just need to keep my eyes open for the stove 😅

You're a great interviewer. No interrupting of your guests and a nice, fun and relaxed style. Well Done!

So cool!

FOA my opinion, if you get a 275a AND check or replace the Schrader, it’s a bright awesome lantern. Becoming quite collectible. I love these Canadian jewels though, pick up any I can afford. Super video 🎉

I played that music venue 2010 or 11 ,big fun, enjoyed the video..

Just got into the Peak series of Coleman products, do you have any in your collection? And good God man, install a mini split in your work shop. Texas is hot...

Spectacular job Brother thank you for sharing I got 1 at a yard sale with pump for $15 it was dated 1924 it was fired up yep unfired

Thank's Bro !

Just fired mine up today, had not been lit for 40 plus years. New mantle, oil the leather pump and fired right up. Love these old lanterns. So old said leaded gasoline. Good times.

Great Video! Thanks for sharing.

Don't get that on the aluminum name tag, remove it from the lamp.

Can you leave a link to the guy that makes the generators please. Much appreciate
