As promised.
For Randy’s Father and for Mark72 Father as well.
This is my 1963 US MILITARY THERMOS LANTERN, Dont think I'll find a 1964 ( B-day year ) Mil-spec I dont belive that made any that year, going off what I read on the net. I want to take this one apart and reindex (spin around ) fuel valve, cage, and burner frame, so it is centered on the fount and the lighting holes line up better. ( almost hate to mess with it because it is working
)
Thanks for the advice Randy. I freed up the air tube and get my first Mil Specs pumping again for 5 pumps, whatever was in the air tube I blew back up there. Now I rigged up a spare fuel cap with an air valve so I can back flush the pump tube. All I need now is a new fount, paint, and more mantles and I can get all 3 Mil Specs going.
