Always enjoy your very informative videos. Just received a 220 slant . This video is going to save me a lot of trouble.

Very nice lantern and very good work!

Sweet display Bill, what a great collection, I always look forward to your vids! Thanx, Sam

Thanks for the Video. Just picked up a Unimet same model only green. It has 1965 stamped on the rest also. I’ll be working on it shortly

Coleman seems to have started sealing their founts at some point. I have two 295's from 2000, both have a pink-ish sealant inside. Not a collector, just an observation.

Thanks Bill. We have a 220D lantern dated B of 1950 and my husband noticed some small differences between yours and ours. First, the lantern identification on ours is on the right side over the pump and is stamped on a larger panel. Second, instead of the pump screws being at 12 and 6 o'clock ours is at 9 and 3 o'clock. Finally, the green Coleman sunshine logo on the globe is very bold but lacks the "PYREX Made in U S A" on the reverse. It may be a reproduction globe. Any thoughts?

At 52:30, would 1/2 - 1mm be same for a Optimus 300 or is it related to lamp cd? (and thanks for great instructions)

Thankyou for the videos

Thanks again. I’ve learned a few cool things here.

👍👍

I have a Jan of 29 L228. it pulses until it gets good and hot. The gen has been cleaned (taken apart soaked in Vinegar soften the carbon) used a small cleaning brush to clean the inside of the gen out. after reinstalling the tip It was easy to see light through it. it has good flow of air or fuel through it. the fun part is getting the tip cleaner and rotating handle back together. you did a beautiful job restoring it. the bog hat are one of my favorite designs, your right they do make great table lamps.

Nice. I really like that ole big hat lantern.

Although the slants are different and every die-hard collector should own at least one of them, the design was incredibly poor compared to what they already had on the market (L427 and L227). Would love to know the background to the development of the slant design.

Great vid! At 30:30, the citric acid stue :) What temp did you have on the citric water?

Dang at about 45 mins in that rain is hittin hard !!!!

Bill, I have 2 of these in my collection 1 L220 and 1 L228, one is clocked where the fuel cap is on the left of the valve and one is clocked opposite, which is correct. I've heard on the older lanterns it was just who was building them that day as tio hiow they assembled it.

I have had bad Luck with those check valves as well so your not the only one to have troubles with them .

Fantastic video, thank you! Almost as good as these amazing little lanterns. Just sub’d.

Nice video and thank you. I have an Aida that I can’t get the pump check valve out. I have loosened it up completely but it seems the lead seal is hanging up and not allowing it to come out. Any ideas? Thank you

👍👍

awesome video thank you

Beautiful country you have there, I would love to check it out. I'm going to use this product on a couple old kerosene lanterns. Thanks. 😊

Hello Bill. Thank you so much for this video!!! Amazingly.. ash flash was basically two partners… herb Ashe and Werner Houston… so… thing is… Werner Houston is my father… I’ve always been proud of his work.. basically.. my dad was the designer and product innovator of the flashlights and herb was the marketer etc in the company… you mentioned the warehouse in ct and I can remember many times going there growing up and watching how the business worked… our house was full of flashlights and Prototypes… even dinner were designed because of my birthday got my birthday party!( the clown mask flashlight). Would love to talk to about all this!! I think I know quite a bit about this story. And again I’m so appreciative that you made this wonderful video. My son ( Werner’s grandson) shared it with me

I think that these are the best, most complete and well organized Coleman tutorial videos on RUclips. Thank-you very much for going to all of the effort to post them. Best wishes for 2025 (from Thunder Bay)!

👍👍

I want to see the ARK 316 lantern .

We had 1 when I was a kid

Nice! Thank you.

Do u use Hunter green for repainting?

What is the wooden cylinder in the thumbnail? I'm stumped... part of an old mill?

Fantastic!

Nice one.

Excellent video Sir the 200.are my favorite. They bring great memories of camping with my dad in my early childhood. I have a small collection that I will always treasure. 😊

Love it!! Thanks Bill!!!

Excellent as ever bill

I've noticed that the Canadian decals are not as crisp and bright as the USA ones, when did Canada switch to the Vinyl from the water slide? I am up to around 125 lanterns and 14 stoves now after a year and a half. Thank you Bill for providing PROPER instruction and practices in rebuilding these timeless tools .

that fiberglass gasket is part of the rope off a wood burning stove you just cut your rope to your dimensions length times thickness and pack it around.

Thanks for posting this video. They are very instructive (and inspirational too). Cheers! 👍👍👍

Thanks for the video and the suggestions for making a safe disassembly and re-assembly. I have a US version of this lamp and really like it. It's the easiest lantern to light and burns the brightest of the three US Coleman lamps I have. Also love the red color.

Greetings from a Tiny Island in Maine, USA Excellent guide. Thanks.

Thanks for the video

I bought a petromax in 2003, wonderful lamp. Caballas was carrying them at the time.

I have a old lantern tank was damaged heavily. Anyone can Help me please..

Great video thankyou

The pre heat should only be done with methylated spirit in the tray, usually twice. The turbo pre heat is only for when you are in freezing temperature's. Its not good for the mantle. Thats why there is a pre heat tray

How did you mix the citric acid?

👍👍

👍👍

Could you use naphtha in the preheater cup of a kerosene lantern?

Well done and thanks for sharing! My Mother used the same model 4A for ironing bedsheets at a remote tourist camp in the 40s in northern Ontario. Now I know how to restore the 4A I have:)
