I bought a complete but bad condition, series 37 Aladdin heater from 1978. Prices seem to range from £40 - £400.
When it arrives, it's in terrible condition, worse than expected, but that's OK, as long as all the parts are there, and it's a complete unit it will be OK. I have two objectives, the first is to stop the rot, repair any broken bits and simply make it functional. My second objective is to upgrade the heater at a later date to make it look nicer and generate electricity from heat.
I start by grinding off the rust and dirt, then repair broken parts. I discover that high temperature paint is not always very good, but continue anyway because the paint will still protect it from rust.
I needed the heater working and ready within a few weeks, because I plan to use it to heat my
What I hope to do with this later is replace the original funnel with a glass tube, and fit some peltier TEG's to make enough electricity to run a light or charge phones.

Thank you so much for this video. I bought an Aladdin Blue Flame Series 32 heater last year. The details you show and your calm, easy, descriptions make learning the subtleties of the fire understandable. Beautiful restoration btw!
Hi Thanks for the video I have a no 32 I had the same problem with the wick fortunately my one was not as damaged as yours and I only needed to paint the frame work thanks for the tip on the hinge & also the carriage raiser look forward to more video’s
Powder coating.....the only way forward on gear like this....I have a couple of the Aladdin 203s myself...am at the start of a full refurb on both...nice tips...thanks...
What kind of powder do you use? It'd have to be some special hi-temp kind right?
It's all your fault now that my husband wants one for his birthday!! LOL Thanks for the video!! Guess I have some hunting to do!
That's so funny😄 I'm glad I could help
I have one of these, still new in box... Dad bought it, never used it... Was about to toss it. Probably won't now.
Its a nice find.
@@pixelvalve hope some one thinks so... have no use for it personally so putting up for sale. :)

Aladdin makes lamps also, maybe you should show them instead of the regular kerosene lamp you show at the end of your video. They use mantles and are several times brighter than regular lamps.
That's a great idea, I should compare the difference in light power. I will keep my eye out for an Aladdin lamp.
If you get yourself a tripod to set up some of these camera shots, you'll have both hands free to do the work.
I do need better gear
