Great video and the lantern turned out very nice. I was curious about the kind of solder you use. Looks pretty thick and works well with a torch.. What gauge is it? Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this video! I have 30+ oil lamps and have recently started getting lanterns. I know virtually Nothing about either, but love them all. I just purchased my own Embury #2 last week! It has a clear globe and needs some cleaning, but I'm hoping nothing like you've had to do. I'm such a newby, I hate to even take them apart for fear I'll end up with a parts bucket and no lantern!
welcome to collecting! the embury no.2 air pilot is a great lantern. one of my favorites! they are built very strong. i have a few videos of those on my channel. maybe they will help you figure out how to get it cleaned up and working with little effort. good luck!
@@chefbirdland I came across one with a clear lense. Everything looks to be intact except for the broken globe. Can see some rust in the tank. Fingers crossed. 🤞
Beautiful job. Btw, I have a lead on a Rayo Pony no. 21. Would a junior size globe fit? I also have a junior size Chinese lantern that may work as well. Edit: I just watched your Rayo Pony video. That answers my question. Thanks.
Hi. Loved how nice and smooth your JB weld tank repair turned out. What is that pink dremel bit you used for sanding it down smooth? I have a similar project with JB weld needing to be smoothed out.
hi, thanks, it came out better than i thought it would. ive seen some bad weld it repairs. they are buffing discs. each color is a different roughness. got them on amazon. they are a big help. here is a link to them. if link doesn't work, let me know: www.amazon.com/dp/B07RGSFJHH?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1
This is the second of your videos I’ve found and I commend you on your work and also your patience with the project. How many hours did you spend completing this work? I will be watching more of your videos. I recently bought a Dietz De-Lite and Embury Supreme 210 from local antique store and will be lighting them later today. Thanks for your enjoyable videos!
thank you! glad you found the channel. this lantern took me about 7 hours of solid work. i enjoy it. i wish the paint removing wasnt as laborious however lol. the days are getting shorter and air colder. a perfect time to fire up those 2 great lanterns you got. hope you check out some other videos. i have more coming!
@@chefbirdland drummel tool I like using is the pen style wire brush either brass or stainless steel. They can really get in nook n crannies .. I just ordered 12 of each ..
@chefbirdland hmm .. I bought some seal all a few weeks ago but have not used it yet . I did have a perect round pin hole in the bottom of one of the lanterns and used little jb weld smoothed it out flat. It has not leaked
Yep, I have one as well, but the paint is orange. There are some bare spots revealing shiny metal underneath. Your project turned out great. And great video work. Thanks for sharing.
Another great video. I don’t like painted globe guard wires either, or the burner or burner plate for that matter. That shined up very nicely. Also, I’m learning a lot about how to use my Dremel tool from your videos. Thanks for sharing.
@@chefbirdland yep, I have that attachment as well. I have a CT Ham cold blast that needs some solder repair work. That paint job is horrible too and needs to come off. This will be my first real test. Thanks again.
Great restoration. Btw, did you ever come across the original paint? I have an Embury Air Pilot with a thin paint covering like and appears to be bare metal beneath. Maybe a candidate for a restoration like that. That thing looks amazing and love the optic globe. My Emburys 210 and Defiance no. 0 have a patina finish. 😀 Thanks for sharing.
i didnt find any other paint under that green. im pretty sure it was sold with the tin finish. i have found that the metal on the air pilot is beautiful. thats one of my favorite lanterns.
Scuze de deranj partea de sus a lampi iese afara dupa ce sa da capacu jos se stamba în zet un pic partea unde sant prinzatorile si se trage partea in jos iese cu tot cu arc si la sfarsit se stramba la loc .
Not bad! When I saw how clean the fount was, I could tell it stayed empty most of it's life. The wrong globe and wick also said someone who didn't know better tried to get it working had failed, and thankfully sat it aside for you to find! I have a similar lantern that I bought, and it is getting a replacement globe, but it also is a 'close fit', as the originals are not available, without buying a complete lantern for parts. I'm not sure if you should paint it, or spray a clear coat on it, to keep it from rusting? So many options to choose from! But enjoy it, now that you have it working!
Yeah I love how it looks like this. I treated with linseed oil I wouldn't paint it for sure . I'm not a fan of painting lanterns. Thanks for the comment!
Great finds I have a couple of those battery comet lanterns and they are pretty neat but the switches are a little intermittent from age and usually need some contact cleaner and some tweaking to get them working and also the battery contacts as well but they do come in handy for a power failure and keep them on standby for such occasions 👍
Nice finished result! Thanks for the tip using CLP. Have you ever pulled/removed dents from a lantern fount/tank? Any tips or suggestions how to do that? Thank you.
thanks! i haven't attempted any fount dent repairs yet. i need a few junker lanterns to learn on. its a whole new set of tools too. same with solder welding.
thanks dave! the grinder is a "task force" 2.5 amp. it was the cheapest i could find 15 years ago. same wheel on it as the day i got it lol. yeah the oiled up metal really takes on a different look. its like spilling water on your khakis. but the oil doesn't dry up.
@chefbirdland thanks been watching for a while. love how your lanterns turn out.. I'll post on fb my embury air pilot no 2 .. I didn't take much off yet thinking I might not take more off .. elbow steel wool and drummel.. really need to get wire wheel
nothing special. just wire wheels. you can see tools i use in this video and others ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-boWniweBVcI.htmlsi=bUcf0sN-uGm75K8_
The Paull's looks great! On the Dietz, wouldn't the "N.Y. U.S.A." indicate that it's from before production moved to HK? I hope they would not keep printing that on there after moving production...
@@chefbirdland Ran into your video cause I've been doing research on a patch I've had in my back yard for my entire life, I'm 36. I got lucky and they grew in a spot where they can't really spread, I quite like them as long as they're managed. It's crazy how fast they can grow though
