Just another example of when they take a good, simple, working design, redesign it, and cause 15 more problems in its place. The color though, that was _IN_ during that period of time!
You guys ROCK! The Enthusiasm in which you go about this reminds me of my younger years. I hope you keep making videos, and don't burn your place down! You have Fans! God Bless! Keep at it!
You got a great old lantern, keep it nice. Great video, like to see you replace a Schrader valve next time so we can if we get a defective one. I’ve got 4 of these I love them, they start easy and are bright!!! These look awesome with a painted fount in sky blue or cream, of course we can’t paint the vent.
Nice, got mine for $30 with broken globe. Replaced with white picket fence style from eBay. Changed out valve with a/c valve for peace of mind. It’s one of my favorite turds
My uncle has and old Coleman lantern like this one, but his looks a little different, his was bought in 1974 or 1975 from another family member, the thing still works.🤪🤪🤪

So, basically, you took it apart, as far as you felt safe, and then put it back together..? Bravo!

Although Turds have their shortcomings, they are awesome lanterns. I have three Turds, which I completely disassembled.
I have the same model, made in 03/1978 but it has the white picket lines around the globe.

That was a steal!
Nice lantern!
The mantle that sais Coleman on it is a silk light mantle
Kewl lantern I just got the same one, I think yours is a hybrid. That's not the original globe. ❤
