Cool, I'll remember that. I have some pieces that could use some help.

no darn it,,, :( nothing in over 2 months. Been too busy with the house stuff (not to mention broke)

and pickin's are slim right now

How about you? :thinking:


going out next weeek - there is a big flea market that opens once a month in our area - it's huge! I'll find about a dozen or so that i'll buy - And i know I've walked past some!

OOohhh, man would I enjoy one like that! At least I'll get to have fun vicariously seeing someone else's find lol! I'm still trying to find a 242. Man is my collection boring.


Gotta watch those 242 with the brass founts - they are prone to stress cracks! the first one I got was from a resale shop for $1.50 - no globe. I didn't know what it was (my early collecting days) but it was the 40's. I stripped it down to the brass and found the cracks. To try and save the lantern I soldered the cracks and it held the pressure - so much so that it sprang a leack in the rusted out bottom plate. I saved what i could and found another 242C

Good to know! I'll still risk it if I can find one though, can't be anything like an AGM.

:lol: Been searching the Classified each day on the coleman forum - maybe something good will turn up! maybe a coleman #1 or #2 stove?

I see you're not asking for much....maybe you can trade your 443 for one :o


Though about posting a "wanted" for a Coleman ARC - but I would be banned for making such a ridiculous request come on you know you thought about it!

Time, not now, for the ketchup procedure... what'd I miss?

Can't stay long.

Annual Ford Focus car show today (every two years, akshullay)... all cleaned up and ready to drive the hour north.

Belgian waffles tomorrow whilst watching the FIA Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix from Spa Francorchamp, Belgium tomorrow... then back at work at 6 am Monday.

Catch my theadpals here tonight!
