The other day I was at the Goodwill store and I found a 1976 and a 1978 two of them 220j double mantle lanterns both like brand new the one from 78 has never had fluid in it. I got them both for $15 apiece. Love you show.
Get a "rust converter" from hardware. Dab it straight on top of hat with cotton wool. Just on the rust. It will stop it in it's tracks. Don't sand it. Just dab straight on and leave it original..... And please don't paint the tin, the lantern or anything. It's beautiful! Keep it original...
SCORE! SCORE! SCORE! IT'S A SURVIVOR. Keep it original. Anyone can have a nice shiny paint job SLATHERED over a rusty old relic, but you have something very special. Maybe wash, wax and rust proof only. And if you ever find a perfect ventilator, save it for another near perfect lantern with a really crappy top. Best to you my friend. @@vintageightfour
Hey man great find I picked up a similar package about a year ago but not as good of a deal or as good of shape 😅 noticed the same thing with the top of mine that was rubbing I found these things at autozone called battery terminal protectors that or little thick circles of fabric or felt or somthjng very durable cheap and work really well for that exact situation I just set one on top of the lantern when I store it
I agree with you,quality American product, nice price, something to think about, it’s original, I have repainted lots of stoves to stop rust but they are not original color,close but not original.. nice find..
Hi my name is Wayne Barrett. I live in Yuma Arizona and I watch your show a lot and I was hopefully wondering if you knew what I could do to get the parts to fix this I have a Coleman peak, one model 400 single burner stove, but the graphiteround little deals that are on it are completely shot and gone so it leaks where and how can I get these? I’ve gone to old Coleman parts can’t find these anywhere. What do you suggest? Who can I send it to you to rebuild?
Hey, i dont rebuild for others but there is several coleman collector groups on Facebook i always find them very useful when in seach of hard to find parts. facebook.com/groups/108764146511291/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT
that is a tough one, man IDK about painting it, but if you don't put wax or baking soda or something on it it is only going to get worse over time. I am just now getting i9nto the hobby myself, I am more into the stoves and heaters, although I do have a 69 220F, and my Dad a 200A that I am trying to get off him. I also subbed you
Great find
