How to completely disassemble and re-assemble a Type GR6S gas safety lamp with magnetic lock, including removing the bonnet, flint, glass and wick.
It took a while to find out how to operate the magnetic locking mechanism on the lamp - loads of different lamp models use the same or similar method of locking the base so that the lamp can't be tampered with.
I made this short movie that shows how the whole thing is put together, it may be of use to someone(?)
WARNING from a viewer of this video (with thanks for the info):
Be careful with the washers at the top and bottom of the glass, they are asbestos. We recommend these be replaced, wear a mask and remove them without breaking them up. If they are stuck in, soak them in lamp fuel or wd40, this aids removal and reduces the risk of fibres going into the air. Once out double bag and bin them.
