The new insert? Why?, firstly I like it this insert is the same as the year and month with the body that I very much like it, and secondly you do not want to buy a new lighter (this served for long enough that it just-so to write off without a fight, and throw on the shelf), or send the warranty is still time, and I do not have it, well, you're right of course, I got a kick out of all poluchilos.A last knockout for you "ala sense" is a gift that is four and a half years since I drag themselves and use constantly, so you do not want to lose any of the original parts, though burst, nor the body of any inserts or screw from her.

And I have problems with the lid on the zip guard XV, the photo shows the cover in favor of housing.

You can either fix it yourself?

Of course you can, but it will be a long, unnecessarily metal to glow red hot.

Clearly, what do you think after a "trial by fire" will leave the metal, ie wheel will slide back the flint or not?

Yes, again, will lose firmness, but all can be repeated. Only after a couple of three such operations, each time getting worse metal will keep quenching. A vseravno at this age have enough ;-)

I also think that's enough. Called the "korolus" about his slain "Armora", said, "send",'ll send tomorrow.

Continuing the theme of vulnerability-> zip proved vulnerable to fat)))), left a lighter in the van at work, smoke came out, I go, and there are already over her lunch heated, in general these fat dripped my wick, the flame was quite small it was almost not visible, pulled the fuse cut, helped a bit, but now once ignited the third (((, and after 2 days ago just went through it :-(. Yes, and even had the experience - when my pretty little rusty, trying to lubricate the cam locking lid, where he As a metal plate, so - do it in any case can not be (better clean it completely) after such operations is very badly lit, did not get any grease on the fuse or even the windshield is not concerned, I think the evaporation of grease prevent light up. Tried weapons oil, grease then, the effect is the same, very poorly lit.

Maybe someone knows how zipu misalignment can be cleaned of rust and soot? so shalt not eat the coating layer, so I want her to throw gasoline on the day see what happens ...

The best way to clean (no kidding) - ultrasonic cleaner for jewelry, or at worst ultrasonic washing machine "Retona" (remember those?). Constructible lighter you put into solution 1/2 of hot water and 1/2 vinegar depending on the degree of pollution "ultrazvukuesh" it from 15 minutes to an hour. Then washed with soap and water and everything. Result - Lighter sparkles like new and is cleaner than the nipple baby :)

Unfortunately at the time of the commencement of the camera down nebilo, can compare with the photo of the same zips on the page number 2 + mentally add the rust))). Create one nuclear solution 2/3 vinegar and 1/3 of boiling water with Pemolyuks, left for an hour ... flew off almost everything, but regretted that the two did not leave or three, by the way Reton never found, and in fact was somewhere :-( probably the effect would be better. Though the result, and so I gave - see for yourself.

Here, nebilo and a hint of shine of metal, and now th-ah, the beauty!


Blyastit!, You can shave .. 8-)))

Epoxy crumbled and fell out of the filling inserts - the one which is attached an elastic plate and tube under the flint, that's beside the tube all part associated with it has gone down by 4 millimeters. Formed a hole through which a needle can pick cotton. Well, I think everything was over zip: ((. Read all about services and came to the conclusion that they simply change an insert, but what the hell to me the other lighter, this is dearer to me than the new. And so decided to break to break, in any case, you can send and still get a free new one. thought ... I thought stuffed it in a vise, pressed his insides back and Center punch from the end, I think that's now zazhmet and is not going anywhere.


That's how it looks, yet was glad that reduced the gap between the tube and kresalom flint, now I think he will do me the way to work.


I collect a lighter, open the lid, it's strange ... opens completely without effort, as if weakened by the cam plate, made out look, the opposite is now part went down 8-)))))))) and the whole piece has not kept ... and pulled the wool pulled it.


Here's what it looks like, sorry for the drawing nebilo fotika :-))


In general otkovyryali almost all epoxy, all trimmed, Center punch and put back on the other side.



On each side, a gap is squeezed and vice vnutryanku filled with superglue, the third layer dosyhaet, cracks like no ... By the way, maybe who knows how to superglue reacts on gasoline, then he has dissolved over time?, I'm afraid of it, and decided to walk on top of another tin, will soon photo essay 8-))

I'm here just to the account of tin and thought. Internal structure (which is under the epoxy) I do not know, but I imagine that you can just clean off all, a little sanding, carefully clamp vise and pour tin. the second option, cold welding. Now I think that's probably the second option will be more reliable.

I pologayu that first - epoxy moved away because of the long otmokaniya vinegar in the second - from the impact, even though I dropped it and just do not have a big dents (although flat has recently dropped), and of a third option filling was not reliable start.

Good time zippomany gentlemen! Today I received a new insert to his "dead man" on page 1 of this post, "Armor"-y. Very pleasantly surprised by the response times "Korolus"-a. Called them on September 1, the girl asked to write a letter to indicate the nature of the problem, address, and model lighters. Yesterday the parcel has arrived today took a new insert.Ochen grateful "Korolus"-at the return of its "Armor"-a. The insert is packaged in a proprietary package generally pleasant. By the way, even for the shipment with the money I have not asked, in short all the way, as the guarantee "zippo"-led lighter in working condition without taking a cent (penny).

That's about zapaivanieya tin do not think it will last long ... Actually I do know that long tin not stand. About seven years ago I tried to upgrade the Zippo (well, to smell really was not, and is not weathered gasoline) and one of the options was sealing the bottom of the insert - instead of a felt pad to put a metal plate and do the opening for fueling, soldered to the opening of the nut in the dip Boltik, thereby closing the hole, and the plate itself "tight" soldered to the bottom of the insert. The upper part of the "fuel tank" is also altered - in a hole under a wick inserted a hollow rod 5 mm in length, skipped through it a wick inside the body cap attached the aluminum cap, which, when you close the lid is placed on the rod with a wick. So at first glance, everything was pretty reliable. For the filling lighters had to unscrew Boltik and a syringe with a needle pumped fuel. (Do not ask how, in this design was changed and cotton wick - then I never thought about it: D).

The result: After three weeks of use lighter tin to keep the metal plate was behind, the nut fell off too, resolder all over again - a situation repeated itself. I do not know whether it tricky as gasoline affects the tin, maybe because of the heating of the walls, it inserts itself sealed-off, but the fact is that ...

That is, lighter itself did not send them to you? Strange. Just called him about replacing the insert on cue in 1941. The girl said to send them lighter. But something I have no desire to wander to the post, I'll wait for an occasion to Moscow))
