    That's great it's just what I need to see. My two auction lamps I was having trouble cleaning. You hit the nail right at the head. Thanks

    I picked up an all brass Model 12 last month and really looking forward to getting it going. Thanks for sharing!

    Turned out great! Good tips. I'm always torn to clean or not to clean my burners. They look so nice when they're clean, but I like the old patina too lol.

    I have a 12 that’s almost solid matte black. It’s really pretty how ever it became that way

    Great video. Thanks. I have a nickel B burner and used heavy duty over cleaner on the outer wick tube to remove STUBBORN deposits. It did work, but now, the section with the holes has yellowish tinge. The tube itself is not yellow probably because it's not nickel plated brass. Oh well- live and learn. Also, inside the basket bottom has rough white slightly green deposits. Briefly soaked in a 1/2" of 50/50 white vinegar/water which helped, but it's still dirty. I definitely need to get some steel wool for that.

    Hello! Is there a way to tell when a mantle or pieces within it are too far gone and need replaced? Im not as interested in running my uranium glass lamp as i am making it look nice again, but running it would be very fun

    The one I just bought (a model B burner) had a wick so gummed out I had to first unstick the outer wick tube then I had to tear the wick apart. Loads of gum on the inner tube, and the fire spreader was stuck; had to heat it up to unstick it. Luckily all parts are salvaged, I just need to clean them up now.

    Great video, but I'm lazy I just put it in my sonic cleaner with my clock cleaning solution and let run for 10 to 15 min. They come out spotless. Also works for my 2150 carb.

    I have a mint Model 9 but the wick takes a lot of effort to raise and I am scared to damage the gears. I cleaned the Wick Riser Tube and installed a brand new wick and the wick goes up and down very easily until I install the Wick Riser Tube, after that it takes a lot of effort so something is not right but I am not sure why. Any idea?

    Would using polishing media in tumbler work as Its gentle and will clean up brass very well and polish.
