Barthel 061 soldering lotlampen

Hallo Forum, here are some photo's of my latest lotlampen and my 4th Deutsch made lotlampen in my collection.

It ist a Barthel 061 Benzin soldering iron torch, it arrived today from a seller on ebay.

As you can see in the pictures, there is quite some restoration work that needs doing to bring this beautiful made gem back to life.

Other than the rust on the burner, the control valve is seized the pump leather needs replacing, and there is some soldering repair around the filler cap, I will re do it to make a neater job of it.

The plastic valve wheel has been burnt some how, and the copper soldering iron is missing.

I will be uploading more pictures later of the various stages of restoration.

Guten Morgen forum here are a few more pics of the Barthel 061 soldering lampen.

Ich habe stripped it down completely, and serviced and cleaned all parts.
Ich habe changed all the rubber seals, on the filler cap pump assembly including the seal on the one way valve.
The burner has had new wick, and the control valve spindle gland has had new graphite packing fitted.

Ich habe all so painted the steel bracket that holds the copper soldering iron, ich used Rust-oleum stove paint this resists heat up to 650 degress celcius, this is to protect it from rust.

Hallo again forum here are the last few pictures of the Barthel 061 soldering torch finished and working.

Many thanks Forum as all ways for allowing my posts

Hi Wen thank you for your kind compliements

Hi Carsten many thanks for your very kind words of complements, I want to find or a soldering attachment for it to really complete the restoration.

If I cant find a original replacement, I may make a substitute replacement from a old soldering iron

Hi Kiki und Karli many thanks for your all ways kind complement's, I have quite a few hobbies I like I have been collecting old blowlamps stoves etc now for about 25 years.

I do get a lot of satisfaction when find something like this old torch that has not worked for years, and restoring it to working condition, and from time using them for the purpose they were made
