It's the final episode in getting the PQ running again. We've come a long way from something like looks like it was kicked down the stairs again and again!
It does work really well now...looks way better than when I bought it! I just need to put in a reinforcing 2x4 in my patio roof so it's just not screwed into the plywood. Probably would be ok, but that's a fair bit of weight to have overhead.
Congratulations on completing the pq lamp. The pq lamp I got also took several months to repair and was completed the other day. It's not straight on the left and right, but I'm satisfied. Thank you for your valuable video pa lamp was helpful.
Glad you got yours done! I was actually surprised at how easy it was to straighten the swan necks out. Like yours, they aren't perfect, but lots better than when I started out. Congrats to you too!
All your contact I'd like let me say that again All your contacts, contact information and everything that you do on your RU-vid channel. I would like to see the whole thing. 2 hours 3 hours. I know you don't probably want to do that, but I'd love to see it. This gives me a chance to look at it and if I need to go back I can go through the same process that you go through to do what I need to do correctly cuz I might be missing something and you might be leaving something out. Somebody would appreciate it and I know there's a whole slew of out there that want to see it too. Probably just about all of except a very small percent. So thank you for showing the whole thing leaving nothing out. Thank you sir, You're doing great. I enjoy watching you and seeing you what you do. Do some more of it cuz I'll be watching from now on. Excellent
Thanks for your comments! I'll have to think about how I can get all the steps in without boring everyone to death. Maybe some tighter editing might help. I can see how showing some of how I work would be helpful to other folks. I'll keep that in mind for the future. Thanks again!
I enjoy watching and learning from your channel. I'm way up the learning curve of troubleshooting Coleman lanterns. I enjoy your commentary and dont mind the lengths of your vids. Keep up the good work. I think You said u live in the Houston area, I live on Sam Rayburn Lake.
If you can't re-do the spot welds but the substrate is in good shape I find that stainless steel pop rivets do a great job and hold up to the head perfectly. At the bare minimum they'll hold better than screws and look better too.
Really good idea with the SS pop rivets. I figured I'd roll the dice with the wire welder and turned everything down, did good surface prep, clamped it all and...actually laid a nice bead! Worked far better than I thought it would, considering I have the skills of a 2 year old. SS a very good option for folks who don't have access to a welder. Thanks for the suggestion!
When I got my PQI did extensive work straightened everything polished everything got it burning I was about to tie on mantles and noticed a small puddle at the bottom of the fount. found there was a hairline crack in the back
You'd need to get a 355 globe for the burners. I believe the shade holders would work with that globe. General rule is that if you are using glass shades, no globe is needed. Parchment and others require a 355 globe to keep from catching things on fire. :)
