Todays $10 find 413G and a 1990 285 lantern

I like the red on the lantern!!! What paint did you use? It looks really good!

I think this hobby is one where you are never done. Always something. But would it be fun if it was easy? Or if you could buy pristine pieces for your collection? No. That's why I'm struggling with my lantern. I wanted a fixer, and I got it!

The paint is some rustolum industrial cherry red I picked up at work.

I hope you didn't put that red on the lantern vent top? you might be sorry.

I was when I repainted my 228E big hat vent top.

that was a lesson learned.

slow

No paint on the vent,I ordered a green one to replace the black to make a christmas lantern new skool style.

Here is a better picture still waiting for the new vent,And a picture of the burn pattern of the stove it sure burns clean.

really nice!!!

I'll check into that paint when I hit HD this morning for the Christmas tree.

I like the 'Christmas' lantern style. I wasn't a fan of that lantern when it was silver..I would have passed it up. But now I know how to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear!!

Where do you get the Coleman decals? Oldcolemanparts.com? I haven't searched yet, but if I get my 220 apart it's getting new paint. The fount paint is shot.

I got the decals from this E-bay seller really quick shipping.

Here it is with the new vent,Bottom and heat shield.
Hard to tell the green is so dark.

And this is the 220H that showed up today from the Bay.
The check valve was froze closed A little lube and boiling it opened but leaks she will sit untill I can get it fixed.

I got the check valve to operate good with no loss of presure and fired it up.The pick up tube or or something else is partially blocked I have to open about 2 turns to get fuel to start to hiss so it will light.So for now I will let it run with a mix os CF and Seafoam to see if she opens up.
One other question with this being a 220H would the bail and frame have been black or did someone paint them?
