GENIOL [Geniol] 150CP Pressurized Kerosene Lantern with Shade

For those interested, please read the following description to the end.

This is a Geniol 150CP lantern.
It comes with a shade, spare consumables, a spare glass chimney, and the instruction manual.

I have personally maintained and cherished this item for 20 years.
This item requires maintenance by the user or by taking it to a repair shop.

Geniol was known as a brother brand to Petromax during the West German era, and its parts are interchangeable.
Based on the serial number on the bottom of the tank, I believe it was manufactured in 1967.
The spray nozzle has been modified to stainless steel.

The 150CP (approximately 120W equivalent) lantern is overwhelmingly compact and charmingly sized compared to larger 500CP models (like the Petromax HK500), making it highly popular in the vintage market and among camping enthusiasts today.

It has a beautiful design and a simple structure.
The brass and nickel-chrome plating are beautifully lustrous, exuding functional beauty.

[Current Condition]
As shown in the photos, if preheated sufficiently and pressurized properly, it will ignite and emit a bright, gentle light.
However, during a 30-minute test burn, the pressure dropped quickly, indicating that maintenance is necessary.

One possible cause is carbon buildup on the fuel nozzle (generator valve).
The pump cup and fuel port gasket are in good condition, so carbon buildup is the likely culprit.
Additionally, the lead gasket at the junction of the main body and the generator is likely at the end of its lifespan and will need to be replaced during maintenance.

The tools I had at home were disposed of by my family, so as I mentioned earlier, please use this item after performing maintenance yourself or taking it to a repair shop.

The genuine glass chimney currently attached has white scorching, which is difficult to see in the photos.
If this is a concern, please replace it with the new glass chimney included.
However, the new one is a current Petromax model and is of inferior quality.

Thank you very much for reading the description to the end.
