Re: Petromax
I've just tried to have a look for you and no joy. Did you change the search settings to worldwide just in case?
Re: Petromax

Re: Petromax
Great news, where did you locate the illusive lens in the end?
The Genial looks great, how does this compare price and quality to the Petromax?

Re: Petromax
Located the lens on eBay.de. Regarding quality, both are the exact same, it is just like a small 500. And price, a 150 can go for the same if not more than a 500 for a lamp in the same condition. Reason being is that the 500 is a very common where the 150 is not. The two lamps are still made today in China but I wouldnt take them even if they were given to me.

Re: Petromax
Quite a collection you've got building! You've persuaded me that I must purchase one in the future, however I have some existing commitments before I do; all the van graphics are at the printers and I will post all the details of these in case any one else needs anything as some of this involved artwork being drawn!
Re: Petromax
If you need any advice, post here. These lamps are like a fire... entice conversation and keep the night going. Once you have one, you will want more:)
