Very useful video, thank you. I have the Bialaddin 305 which I've had since the 1980’s as backup for powercuts.Last week the power went off and the lamp wouldn't light! I now have the service kit and this is a great reminder of what I did last time.Thank you! 🙂

Thank you. Sandy. I have two similar lamps that were given to me. Complete but in need of servicing/light restoration. About the same condition as your one. I have the service kit, Base camp supplied it. I've been trying to some up the courage to fettle them for a long time. Your superb video has inspired me to get on with it. Many thanks, indeed. 🙂 I will look for your follow video of using the lantern in the field. 🙂

Very useful, I found one of these years ago in storage (still in working order) and it's nice to see how I can maintain it.

Just had to say a big thank you for this video. Wish I'd seen it BEFORE I mucked up the NRV; but at least I now know how to fix it. Thank you..

Hi Sandy, you done a great job. I love restoring old lamps, very satisfying. I restored a old Tilly flood light you can see on my Chanel. All the best Tony.

Great job and video Sandy. I am a Stovie and restorer of items just like this. it's good you replaced the entire set of seals and leather pump seals. many only change the pump seal and usually the fuel cap seals are the first to go, I like to remind you and others though when doing this job be very careful using emery cloth on the pricker Rod as you don't want to thin out the tip of the pricker as it's matched on size perfectly for the jet hole. also a reminder to all don't leave fuel in the tanks or long long periods of time. empty the tanks if storing for a long period of time. these lanterns are hard for most to run at first but once you learn how to start them up and maintain them they are like a good ole friend and very reliable as well as a charm to use.

I wish you'd published this a couple of years ago before I bought mine s/h, it's a lovely thing to bring them back to life. Might I suggest using Coppaslip (or the equivalent) grease on threads, I believe it's better long term. Rarely mentioned is the heat these lamps give off, it's a great bonus to the light. Thank you for sharing.

What a little beauty it is Sandy. In very good nick, with no scratches or scuffs that I could see, just needed a good service. You are what I would call an instinctive engineer. A bit of the craftsman comes out in whatever you do. Best wishes, Noel

Great work there ... I have the exact lamp and unfortunately the glass cracked due to a ruptured working mantle I have replaced the glass with a stainless steel mesh 30 guage metal cyclider which I easily made and is really effective and just as good as the glass ... no worries now it falling over /or mantle damage .

Hi followed your instructions to the letter but cannot seem to build up any pressure, should there be a washer inside the pump cap and should there also be a spring

Which do you prefer - this or the Tilley? These seem to cost more second hand.

I prefer my Tilley though in reality I hardly use the pressure lamps. When I go camping I always tend to pack a Feurehand storm lantern, they are light and give out just enough light

Mend and make do! Why do we in this day and age throw things like that away and spend good good money on a replacement, when with just a little bit of work and effort such can be achieved. Mend and make do, that's what they had to do during the second world war and that's what they called it. Thanks again Sandy.
