Aida Express 1500 500cp lantern Glass Globe

Hello everyone!

Currently I'm in the process of restoring an Aida Express 1500 500cp lantern.

The most sad part of it all, other than it's current condition, is that the original glass globe for it was broken in pieces.

When I restore something I try to at least keep everything original if possible though I know that is not always the case.

Though still I would like to know if there is anyone out there that would just have an original glass globe in good condition.

If so please send me a PM!

Thank you for your time and response.

Respectfully,

Mr. Lantern

Here it is fully restored, using all of it's original parts, all clean, washed and scrubbed along with a new glass globe, lead washers and rubber vinton washer.

Oh and yes, the Pressure Gauge still does work as it originally should.

Here are a few pictures of what it looked like before restoration.

Hi,

you did a great job! Nice...

Best regards Carsten

Thank you very much sir!

Also, here are pictures of the other lantern, that was also fully restored.

It is an early model Coleman 200A lantern.

Here are a few pictures before the restoration.

The lantern looked as though it was hopeless to restore but it was salvaged.

Here are pictures of the restore process.

Here it is lit up.

Congratulations, very good fettling.

How did you manage to get an original Aida glass globe?

These are rare birds.

Thanks!

I was very fortunate enough to receive a PM from a forum member in another forum ( because I had inquired in a few other forums) that he had an extra one and that he was willing to sell it to me.

So of course I not only glad but jumped on the opportunity to buy it.

Yes, those particular glass globes are rare as hen's teeth but one never knows if one doesn't ask.

Again, many, many thank you's to Richard for selling it to me!
