Yes, it certainly looked spiffy. Funny thing, Last weekend at my grandson’s Baptism and first birthday,I was told that I looked spiffy. haha. That was a beautiful transformation. I liked the fact you knew something was amiss and corrected it. Great job. Thanks for sharing. Tony
Excellent restoration! I restored a model 200 too fews weeks ago and working perfectly. Repainted the fount and put new decal on. To remove the paint on a lantern,oven cleaner work wonderful. Coat the fount generously,put in a ziplock bag all night and the day after,just need to wipe with a rag than good wash with soapy water, Once its dryed,ready for a final wipe with lacquer thinner to remove any grease or contaminants and ready to paint!
I just got my first second hand find (a '68 220F) running and have my eyes set on one of these 200's as my next project. Thank you for the inspiration Dom! Have a safe Labor Day!
You’re welcome and thanks for watching brother, I appreciate it! I definitely dig the 200s! Let me know how it comes out! I hope you’re having a wonderful day!
The 200A is my favorite looking lantern, something about the profile and maybe the color also. Glad you're having fun with these lanterns and also teaching others how to restore them. Stay well, my friend.
They have really grown on me! They have a look that says, old time lantern! I’m definitely having fun! Thanks for watching brother, I appreciate it! I hope you’re enjoying your day!
I’ve had a lot of people walking by my camp, only to stop and ask what kind of lantern I was using because it is so bright! 😃 and of course I look at them with a great big smile and said that is my 1962, 200 a single mantle.😃 and they usually respond that’s way brighter than my double mantle lantern.😏
Hi Dominic 😀, that's a great looking lamp after the refurbishment, is that a lead free gas or kerosene lamp, sorry but I don't recall you saying what fuel they run on . Any sign of the chuks coming, ?,coups all ready but no sitting guests, eggsasperating, lol, thanks for another great video mate, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.
It uses white gas. The call it camp fuel. It’s basically 50ish octane. No chicks yet, but soon I hope! Thanks for watching brother, I appreciate it! I hope you’re enjoying your day!
Awesome transformation, my friend. You did a great job indeed, but you're keeping me in suspense here. You never did tell us the year after you removed the paint??? Thanks for sharing, and God bless.
Very nice man.. I’m currently restoring a couple 200a’s, one is 10 of ‘72 and the other is 9 of ‘64. Was wondering if you used a wire wheel on the outside of the frame, and which red paint you used from Ace? Thanks brother! 🤟
Thanks brother, I appreciate it! I use a fine wire wheel if I have to, but only if I have to! Otherwise a dip in evapo-rust and steel wool. The paint in International machine red.
Thanks brother, I appreciate it! I bought the paint at Ace Hardware. Its Ace Rust Stop Machine & Implement Gloss International Red Protective Enamel Spray Paint.
@@Dominic.Minischetti Thanks! It looks like it's a pretty good color match. You mentioned bronze wool to replace the cardboard tube in the generator. How much of that do you put inside the generator?
@@HighSierraBob You’re welcome! Not much, use a piece about the size of the tube and wrap it around loosely. It shouldn’t be hard to put back in the housing.
