[@conscience-commenter]

Thank you for demonstrating how to do a complex repair properly. An iconic vintage lighter back in service .

[@shot8unshot8un75]

Fascinating!

[@DunhillRollagasRestoration]

thank you 👍

Hi, great detailed videos. Do you work on other peoples lighters? I have this beautiful gold Rollagas (barley?) that’s been in a drawer for years. The roller became stuck at some point. Would like to get it working again someday. I’m sub #4! 👍🏽

[@DunhillRollagasRestoration]

Hi thanks for the sub, I do work on other people’s lighters, I don’t know where you are located but I’m in Birmingham UK 👍🏼

Where can I purchase the corkscrew tool you used to remove the fill valve? I have almost stripped mine trying to use a flathead screwdriver.

@@texasturnkey here’s one if you look around you can find different ones 👍🏼 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204976821584?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=A9JUzvehR2i&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=wmBl3l7MS5y&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Can one repair the inlet valve? And/or do I need to purchase a replacement? Thanks.

[@DunhillRollagasRestoration]

@@99tsr they can be repaired but the easiest way is to buy a Ronson inlet valve like this: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266038650051?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=asVyT6MvS8i&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=wmBl3l7MS5y&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

@@bantsrants ok no problem more detailed video’s coming my friend 👍🏼

@@DunhillRollagasRestoration many thanks 😊

[@VeritasKonig]

Many thanks for this!!!!

[@nathanlamp1385]

Was it glue, or grease, that you put into the needle base with the neoprene plug?

[@DunhillRollagasRestoration]

@@nathanlamp1385 it was glue, shoe glue

[@nathanlamp1385]

@@DunhillRollagasRestoration Thanks. I just continued without. The lighter works well... for a couple days, then empties. I only changed gaskets, with no grease, and no glue on the plug, so the loss of gas isn't too much of a mystery. How many days should a newly filled rollagas last? Assume an "average" use of a smoker is 15-20 times a day, I'd wager.

[@DunhillRollagasRestoration]

@ I use mine constantly I would say a well used lighter should last 2 weeks+ minimum

Pretty sure the internal workings of the space shuttle are less complicated.

[@TheAmericanStranger1]

I'm looking for this exact year and model, do you have one you want to sell?

[@EGDmitry]

Would it be possible to purchase a few of these rubber seals from you that you punched out? That would be easier than finding the right punch and rubber...

Where did you get the little steel tool with brass knobs to take needle valve apart?

Hi! What are the dimensions of that little puck you made for the needle valve?

[@DunhillRollagasRestoration]
