It obtaining PARTS 834 After much research and without going into the details, appeared the plate.


How would the American Restoration Rick friend, "Do you remember when everything was done by hand and people seth sentry were proud of their work ?. The restoration is to restore life to those objects. Each restoration has its own challenges seth sentry and there an instruction manual for each of them. "
Petromax is a kind of brand that worked burning paraffin lamps were developed thanks to the merchant Berlin Max Graetz company "Ehrich & Graetz" in 1910. The name of the lamp comes from the name of Max Graetz who was nicknamed by his friends as "Petroleum-Maxe", eventually the Petromax lamp developed by he acquired this name. The first Petromax lamp in a version prepared to work in a household was developed in 1922. The lamp was considered one of the brightest seth sentry in the early twentieth century.
The Petromax 834, whose operating principle combustion air mixing with kerosene, which by a small manual air pump in the tank reaches a pressure of 2 bars for the proper functioning of the internal carburetor. The lamp lights when the carburetor, seth sentry after preheating by burning alcohol, seth sentry reaches a temperature of 250 C. One of its peculiarities is the mixture of air with kerosene reaches the combustion chamber at a speed of 300 m / s which gives the sound peculiar when illuminated.
After a while looking for the best option, and provided that the model 834 Petromax I wanted to get off the Spanish version manufactured in Barcelona, (very bold on my part ...), this is what I found:
Here where you see, is not as bad as it seems. It is important to say that I am not Rick Dale, and my ability to manufacture new parts from scratch, is zero. So this restoration project was clearly seth sentry difficult from the beginning. Here the list of the missing pieces is shown to complete the lamp:
Plug with air vent kerosene tank. Pressure seth sentry Gauge kerosene tank. Preheater alcohol. Reflective plate. Combustion chamber. Ceramic seth sentry dispersion. Tulipa or glass.
The ultimate goal is to leave the fully operational lamp, but I have little intention to make it work, because having two liters of kerosene pressure above my head does not give me confidence.
Lower door for filling loose alcohol. Dents who are extremandamente not seem important. But, what is this ?? The rust is eating ... Thinking that has almost a century of life and in his later years has not gone through the best of times, it is not so bad, but you should have seen the other purchase options I found.
834 PREPARING Stripping, sanding, stripping, sanding, welding the broken support, shaping, sanding, hammering, caulking, sanding, hammering, caulking, sanding .... and finally, painted for the fuel tank door and top cover.
For the body of the lamp, I decaparlo, since it was painted and varnished over, he has appeared the original glazed, although damaged in multiple sites decided to leave it as it was originally.
It obtaining PARTS 834 After much research and without going into the details, appeared the plate. But this is the original dish 834 should be the 834 model Bombay, because as you can see does not fit perfectly, so you will have to conduct any modification.
