Q: Can you remove the burner?
A: Thanks for your question. I was able to remove the burner by hand, fairly easily, so that is an indication that the threads are good. I also looked at the thumbwheel on the end of the wick raiser shaft -- it is made by E. Miller.
**************
I ship to the continental US only. Shipping is $25.00, insured, by Priority Mail.This is to cover the anticipated cost of insurance on the early, hard to find latnern. If it is significantly less than the $25, I will refund the overage. Payment is by Paypal, per , but if you need alternate arrangements, please contact me. Payment is expected within 3 business days unless other arrangements are made.Feel free to ask any questions. Good luck and thanks for looking! Check out my other listings!
