What’s the name of that part that comes down and puts flame out? I have a lighter like this but it’s missing that part. Want to restore it for my grandad
I have same lighter Springs and all are intact but no spark. When I take the long spring and flint out then the wheel turns. With the flint and spring inserted the wheel won’t move at all. Please advise what May be the issue?
Brilliant . I have an identical flintlock lighter - however - I cannot for the life of me get the wick to stay tight in the extremely small hole that's there , it's very shallow and super small , got it working once but it just falls out , is there anything I could use to help this stay in or maybe a special wick you know of ? Would be greatly appreciated as this is a present for a very old friend ❤
I would have chosen a different and less flashy leather color. if they were used in the field, red is a very striking color that would reveal the soldier's location. a dark one is better. but beautiful restoration!
Was just gifted a penn #78 from 1950 I cleaned it and it’s ready to go out!!!! It’s so cool seeing them get fixed up, this is my first project and it’s gonna be my baby for sure 👍
should've kept the original handle or at least put a spacer to hide the threats on that bolt cuz it looks janky as fuck also don't be afraid of grease put more on its only going to help prolong the life
Fantastic, thank you!!! 🎉 I just bought this same one today for $8. Looks like mine might only need some fluid to work. And now thanks to you, I have a better idea of how to keep it working. 😀
I have a similar reel that I am restoring. Does the rust remover help with removing the original chrome or only the rust? What voltage are you using for the plating?
Very nice. Why did you dip the wrench in paint instead of just painting it on with a brush? Or using spray paint? Love the way you molded the letter “T”. .... was that just epoxy?
looks 100x cooler in rustic condition, restoring it just brought it back into $2 Kantai lighter like its countless brand new siblings across aliexpress, sorry I do think the object itself matters in restoration, sometime the patina gives added value to otherwise dirt cheap everyday objects good example is this cheap lighter.
