putting this back together is way harder than it looks!
They key is holding everything sideways.✌️
I just actually fixed one of these recently. It was an old playboy lighter. Same problem. Concreted flint. Takes some practice to get a good technique to get everything reassembled. I was in luck that the lighter was actually new like condition and never used. So after I finished the tube clearance I was off and running. I used some of your videos as a guide so you helped me out. Next time at the flea market I'll be on the look out for these. Usually they are plenty to choose from. Probably all with the same problem. That flint tube really seems to be the problem alot of the time. Thanks nice video.
Thank you! I'm doing best to recondition a Colibri by Kreisler Desktop Lighter for ny sister and thought the wheel was broken. Your video saved the day!
Great video! Thanks for uploading! With your guidance I was able to fix one I bought at an auction.
Bro, after finding your videos and getting stuck watching them, might I recommend instead of using alcohol, go to the auto parts store and get a bottle of sea foam, either the spray or the liquid, that stuff will keep your lighters clean with either a few quick shots or a nice long soak, with just a wipe down afterwards. It’ll clean all the carbon off and out of your lighters, I clean my zippos this way.
I don’t think it would take the graphics off a flat lighter, but I’d test it on a throw away first.
Great Vid. Helped me out greatly👍
Thank you for taking the time to say so. I hope you'll stick around!✌️
Thanks! I could finally fix my lighter!
Great video I love these flat advertising lighters and love collecting them but man they are hard for me to put back together as one part hear and there falls apart when I try to assemble it but hey practice makes perfect right. Thanks for sharing
It might help to try holding everything sideways.✌️
@@DependableFlame thanks I'll give it a try. I don't mind when they dont work but when I'm able to fix one it's always a nice accomplishment
Interesting to see Vulcan Steel Company on there. I live outside of Birmingham.
That lighter may still be hanging around the headquarters somewhere.✌️
Hello! Just found today a Brother lite but a gas one, a leaky gas one 😅 I'm on the disassembly/cleaning and I'm really surprised to found fluffy cotton inside the gas tank 😮
Just same like in petrol lighters...I don't know if it's normal or if I should remove this, I mean I don't know if that's the way they build it at time or if someone though it was a petrol lighter and feed the tank with cotton...if someone can help me 🙏
It's really strange...
Oh and please excuse my not so good english translation 😅
where can i buy a replacement wheel assembly? i got a flat ad lighter recently and found i have one gear, not two like in the video.

✌️
I have the identical lighter. I'm not clear on the flint clean out. When drilling it out is it a through hole or does it bottom out?
The tube is curved so while it goes all the way through, if you drill too far you will ruin the tube.✌️
@@DependableFlame Managed to clean out the flint tube and see that the flint spring holds that in place as it popped through the hole. Can I try to pull the wick up and trim it before deciding to replace it and the packing? My lighter was pretty clean so just used a pipe cleaner with alcohol to clean the parts.
Thank you!!! Is there any brand or keyword for the type of flint I should buy for these types of lighters?
Regular Zippo or whatever Walmart has will generally work. I also have several links to purchase on Amazon and Ebay at this page of my site:

@@DependableFlame thank you, I’ll use you referral links to support!
i have been looking for the flint spring and screw do you know if they sell it still?
I've written this article listing the most common places to find spare parts for old lighters:

✌️
I have such a ligther my own but the flint spring screw is scr**ed up :/. Any idea how to fix it in a diy manner?
That depends on what you mean by screwed up. What is the actual problem with the flint spring screw?✌️
I'd like to replace the wick, wading, and flint on my lighter. I'm not able to pull the wick up. Someone indicated that Ronson Redskin or Firebronze flints might spark better in this lighter. Can you recommend which one to buy? Also, what fluid should be used? I'm having a hard time finding a store with vintage parts near me. My lighter is identical to the one in this video.

I have gas one. I cleaned it, changed the fiint, but it wont light. I doesn't seem like fuel is coming out, i dont hear any hissing.
Sorry but I'm not any help with butane.✌️
When cleaning flint wheel with venigar, how long is effective time for interacting with it? And will be any caution for that method?
The flint wheel alone should be fine however long you leave it in there. Overnight should be long enough.✌️
Can the wick be replaced by a zippo one?
Yes but it may be more difficult to fish out than a wire lead or lassoed wick.✌️
Hiya' i have one with a Mercedes logo and a modernized look- the problem is the fire wheel is not catching on the flint so it's not making any spark.
Have you cleared the tube and checked the clutch spring?✌️
@@DependableFlame it doesn't have the gears on the snuffer like yours.
I'll check it later thank you!
I cleared the flint channel and reassemble it im using a zippo flint and it wont even spark
Sounds like it still has some old degraded flint blocking the tube or the mechanism has been reassembled incorrectly.✌️
@@DependableFlame I actually figured it out I saw the flint wasn't rising and I went and watched a video you hand spun a drill but to remove burring and really get in there thank you
You know where I could find a flint spring and screw for an old Japanese Albert lighter?
They were typically bastard threads so taking one off an identical lighter is your best bet.✌️
@@DependableFlame I was hoping that wasn't the case... thanks!
Hey mate! I cleaned mine out like in this video, flint fits fine and all but the problem is now the wheel seems to get stuck on the flint. I think the flint is pushing against the wheel a bit too hard, but what’s weird is that even if I press really hard to move it there’s still no spark. Any ideas?
Sounds like the clutch spring has failed or been put back in the wrong direction.✌️
I had the same issue, I unscrewed it gradually until the wheel moved, and then gradually screwed it again. It fixed it for me
I have one of these that's missing the fuel cap, is there anything I can do to replace it
A donor lighter from Ebay is your best bet.✌️
How can i change the wick on this kind of lighters?
Its to short to pull on it on my lighter.
It would be about like this one:
ua-cam.com/video/8wKRYZnN2N4/v-deo.html
Just with less wadding to deal with. Let me know how it goes!✌️
When it is stuck on the half of its way of closing mechanism, not always but occasionally happens, what would be the issue?
Could be the clutch spring malfunctioning or the mechanism in a bind because something has broke or it has been reassembled too tight.✌️
@@DependableFlame In fact I reassembled the lighter could be too tightness, which part should I loose ? The screw on top, or internal gear mechanism?
For the reference , the lighter is winston flat advertising lighter
How do you rewix a lighter like this? I’ve got it fixed up to spark but there is no wix on mine :(?
You should be able to follow along with this video:
ua-cam.com/video/sePhxcXcSaE/v-deo.html
The lighter may look a little different but the principles are the same.✌️
What’s the liquid you put the parts in?
91% isopropyl alcohol.✌️
@@DependableFlame thanks! What if it won’t spark even with a new flint?
You should try cleaning the steel fly-wheel
Thanks @@shaunohare3004. A brass brush and thin blade from a tiny standard precision screwdriver both work well for that.✌️
I have the same lighter but it does not have a fuel screw. Does anyone know where to buy one?
Direccion para mandar uno a reparar
I don't repair via the mail any longer...I prefer to make demonstration videos to help you repair your own.✌️
I have one lighter
I want to sale
One problem，dude.There is no adapter if the screw on the fulcrum cap is missing. As far as I know the gas engine or kerosene engine and the parts made in Japan or America are not the same just the same brand.I'm missing a screw on the other side，SO SAD.🥲
