Hey Frank! Good to see you're making videos again! It's Jules by the way you probably don't recognize the name

As a college graduated engineer, I continue to DELIGHT in the ideas and creativity of guys whose genus is expressed with their hands. I'm a geezer now, but the most valuable lessons I ever learned were from the guys in the shop who made and fixed stuff. Thanks Frank for another excellent and informative video!

I just went to the hardware store today and picked up these supplies. Will be testing on my 413E soon!

Loving these videos I have just started in on this hobby and cleaned a 1958 200a reassembling noe and just need a new filler cap gasket.

Hey frank i reacently acquired a Coleman table lanp and I was wondering if you could do a video on lamps and how to rebuild them, thanks

@jaycimbak7781 2 года назад

Frank, I used your idea of putting the fount assembly into a vice but I could not turn the fount to loosen it from the burner assembly. So what I did was I took my belt off and put the end through the buckle and placed the loop over the upside-down fount. I then pulled the loose belt end to tighted the loop. I wrapped the belt end around my wrist and then held the fount with one hand while pulling the belt with the end wrapped around my wrist. It worked perfectly and it worked even better when I had to tighten the found onto the assembly and turn it so it lined up correctly. I then took the belt off the fount and put it back on my pants! Easy, easy, easy!!! No more trying to turn the upside-down fount with my hands!

Just found your page. And enjoying the content. Can u do a little video on the coleman catalytic heaters.

@thomasclark7730 Год назад

Hi I have a 86 290 powerhouse does not get very bright do you have any videos on them

@Vladviking Год назад

Probably good for more than just lamps.

@grlnboots 2 года назад

how big of strap did you use for strap length

@trirycheman 2 года назад

Damn. I got an old dual fuel that goes bright then dim then bright then dim, and never stays at a constant light level. I'm going to need to watch a bunch of your videos to figure it out I think... LOL

@crabtrap Год назад

clean or replace the generator, and stop using car gas

@frankmarullo228 2 года назад

Hay Frank hello my elusive friend !!! Where have you been ?????? Love your videos.. That's a good idea, a few weeks ago in a antique store I found two lanterns like the one you lite in the beginning of your videos ,, but they don't work, they also had a gas powered iron made by Colman, it's small but heavy. Question : do you repair lamps like that ? It doesn't work they wanted 50.00 each ( I think ) is it worth it ? THANK you Frank from montana....

@OldTownColeman 2 года назад

Frank! Elusive? Did you try oldtowncoleman@gmail.com?

@crabtrap Год назад

the table lamps don't have much to go 'wrong'. there is a check valve in filler cap and a seal(lead i think). 2. you most assuredly need a new generator. a straight shaped one works but the looped ones work and look better. you over paid for the lamps btw. they work great tho. they are labor of love as the shades run about $100

@kenneth6731 2 года назад

Was that a ratcheting truckers strap you got that from? Great idea. Thank you.

@randysmith6493 Год назад

I kept thinking oil filter wrench while try to free my Fount from the valve assembly, but after elevating my body higher over the vice I got better leverage. I have a question: electrolysis with battery charger with the positive connected to scrap iron and the negative attached to the found fuel filler threads on the fount all submerged in water and baking soda , it should atomize the rust removing all trace, just rinse out afterwards. You think that would work ? I used nuts and screws in the fount jiggling them about after an hour of White vinegar soak, but I see micro sized rust in solution rinsing . Do you think electrolysis would be okay or should I just go back again with white vinegar?

@roughneckadv5720 2 года назад

Thank you very much Frank this is excellent especially for someone like me. I was contemplating trying to build your original lantern clamp but living in an apartment limits my capabilities somewhat. This design however is super simple and will be perfect for me. I found an old 220E from 1963 at a garage sale 2yrs ago for $10 bucks. And about two weeks later stumbled upon your channel and I caught the Coleman bug sorta speak lol. Now I've got almost a dozen lanterns and have been having a blast learning how to rebuild them. Thanks again Frank for your help good sound advice is really hard to find these days.

Hi frank I have a question for you I have a 66 220 f that one leg of the bail has come loose from the base how are the attached at the factory I reached out to ocp and really didn't get any explanation on it some insight work be appreciated thank you Huber and keep them buring

@plumpye474 Год назад

Hey Frank I had Favor to ask could you do Video showing how to change Graphite Packing on a 242 or 243 Lantern PLEASE 🙏 I know you’ve shown how to do 200a but 243 is much different Animal to me lol ??

@Krankie_V Год назад

He shows it in the 200a rebuild video

@TheReal1953 2 года назад

Great idea! You could do the same with a decent strap wrench like from Klein. If you have a wood table, you could make some pegs that bound the wrench handle, depending on the direction you wanted to go. Remove the pegs from the table table when done.

@gileus1 2 года назад

I have an over sized strap wrench that I use. It's the same concept although with the strap wrench you need to have it on the thick part on the tank at bottom or you can make a small dent in the tank if it's really stuck together.

@explorermike19 8 дней назад

Very cool! Thanks

@Andrew_From_NB 2 года назад

This is such a great tip Frank! I’ll definitely be using this one going forward! Love the channel! Cheers an take care!

@Mikeywatches 2 года назад

Could you please make a vide on how to stored coleman lanterns and stoves long and short term.

@crabtrap Год назад

if you run coleman fuel you really shouldn't need to do much. but draining for long term is a good practice. also replace pump cup with leather. i store mine with fuel caps loose or off this stops the seal from getting deformed over months or yrs and also stops condensation building in tank

Great idea with a lot of uses. I have an oil lamp similar to the one you are lighting at the begining of the video. The glass shade got broken. Are there any sources of glass shades?

@crabtrap Год назад

Lehman's hardware in Ohio will have them. its a big Amish run store

@davidapp3730 Год назад

@@crabtrap Thank you. I will give them a try.

@crabtrap Год назад

@@davidapp3730 PS, Frank is lighting a coleman white gas pressure lamp in vid intro. Its important u know which lamptype u have before buying shade. Yours is truley 'lamp oil' type the shade will be much less expensive. Also a white gas lamp will need a shade with higher heat rating

@davidapp3730 Год назад

@@crabtrap Took a look at the Lehman's site. They have a great selection of stuff but I did not see a shade like I need. Anyway I can get you a photo of it. The Lincoln lamp shade was the closest to it.

@crabtrap Год назад

@@davidapp3730 is it an oil lamp or pressure gas lamp? Brand? Model? I can better help with that info. Check bottom of fount for info
