I got 3 of mine out today and dusted them off, put new mantels on oiled the pumps and fired them up. not show pieces but they look good burning. I went to town today to get the fuel and mantels and stopped by my wife's work to have lunch with her, when I told her what I was doing she asked WHY? we have propane lanterns, why are you getting those going? she just don't get it I guess.

nice! pair of 220F's and a 228F
if you ever wanted to pull them apart and clean and polish them up, they are dead simple to work on!
here is a 220F i just got done cleaning up, older pictures... the fuel valve is now installed and it works.
