The Coleman Thread

[rusty_tlc]

Passed on a three burner and two older dual fuel stoves today. I did score a Wagner griddle that fits my 424-700 pretty well. $10. She had another small Wagner skillet but some paid full price while I was haggling inside.

How much was the triple? I'm still lookin!

Jockey lot run today. Picked up this latern for $4. Stamped a 77. Question is what model is it? Nothing was rusted up.

I didn't ask a price. It was the annual community yard sale. What's you pain threshold for a triple? I'll keep an eye out, I usually see a few every summer at garage sales. Of course unless you pick it up shipping will be more than the stove.

 

[Mace]

$20 of course lol


And I'll find a way to grab it from you. I'm planning a run to Tahoe this summer sometime and I sill have a friend or two in Reno/Carson

I'm astounded at how hard it is to find one here in town..

My sister had a friend who was going to toss this stuff if she didn't take it . My sister didn't want everything so I was given this stuff and she kept a coleman stand, table and folding box oven .
The heater is dated 4 /70 and the lantern 8/71
Plus 28 of the old good silklite mantles, 2 generators, a metal and a plastic tool base , the metal lantern carrier 5 gallons of coleman fuel that's got price tags for $1.09 each

I have never seen the removable

side shelves before that are on the 2 burner stove before

Hell of a score! I bet Mace is pissed on triple burner which you got for considerably lower than his normal price...

 

[TXLX100]

Hmmmm, that 3 burner stove. There's one that's a dual fuel that's for sale about 2 hours from me. Might have to pick that up on the way out of town next month. Is $75 fair?

The metal lantern box, that is sweet.

I doubt I've ever paid $20 for a stove, except maybe my three burner that I got on clearance when it was new in box.

 

[Mace]

That's my pain threshold, not what I want to pay for one.. lol.

And no, I'm happy that the old Coleman stoves are still running strong and appreciated! Cool Score!

Here are my latest acquisitions, a 7/57 200A for $15 and a Canadian 5/99 222 for $20.

The 200 had not ran for a long time and had sludge in everything. Cleaned her up, and she ran like new!

Speaking of new...the 222 had been started one time, for what looks like a minute or two! Basically brand new.

Another option when you clean parts up is Bar Keeper Friend cleanser. It will desolve varnish and make brass and steel look like new. I make a paste inside the tanks and shake it then let it sit for while and it all looks new. This also works for carburetors and parts, a little BKF and the carb and parts will look like new again and it won't hurt any rubber parts.

The 200 had not ran for a long time and had sludge in everywhere. Cleaned her up, hit it with high temp paint and she ran like new!

Nice haul! That little 222 makes me wish it had cheeks so I could pinch them- cute little lantern... Seriously though, very nice.

Alright, it looks like I just don't have time to mess with the lantern right now so in replacement I am going to give this away:

I will do the drawing in a couple weeks, simply submit an application to my pm box in the same fashion as the 502 giveaway (let me know how you will be using it).

Nice finds! I like the earlier 200s the best, with the screw down brass pump. That 222 sure is cute!

I decided I will hold the drawing on Memorial Day, keep the entries coming!
