Nice sympathetic refurb. I’ve got a good few of them. I was going to refurb and sell them on as a part time hobby but I can’t part with any of them now ! I’m not so much a collector as a hoarder.😁

im gonna sub ,for one simple reason , your not wearing them stupid black Nitrile gloves that every restoration channels use ,finally someone who is,nt frightened to get hands dirty .dont ever wear them gloves ,for some weird reason all these other resto channels think they look professional .if they wear them ,it,s bloody daft , i,ve been rebuilding motorbikes engines for over 40 years . and never worn gloves . it takes away from the feel .

Please can somebody tell me what was used to soak all the parts in to clean them prior to polishing?

[@tewdogs4475]

need some oil in that pump until the leather soaks up some(been rebuilding them for a few years)

[@stuwhite2337]

The end of the pump where the non return value is was a nightmare to get off on mine

[@BonannoCM]

The amount of machining and hands-on effort to fabricate that lantern is astounding.

Can you do an inverted lantern rebuild?

[@RustnRewind]

Hi Ed, would love to.. however they are not so common over here in the U.K.
I’ll keep my eye open and hopefully find one soon.
