Yacht Lamps model 700 but there were no instructions with them. Could someone tell me how to open them to fill with and light them? I don't want to brake them tyring to figure it out.

lantern. The bottom drops out of the fresnel lens and is a miniature in itself. The lamp part appears to unscrew from the oil reservoir, however it is stuck. The joint between the looks to have solidified oil or some sticky stuff, probably also in the screw threads.

My question is...

Any thoughts on how to loosen this up? Or what type of solvent to use?

I'd really like to get this lamp working again but I don't want to twist too hard and break it.

Thanks again.

the lamp was on my mind. So I sat down and soaked it with Goof Off (Piper, great minds think alike). Unfortunately it had no effect on the tar like stuff.

So I applied heat with a micro torch. I had to get it really hot and the tar started melting. I was able to unscrew and separate the (with hot pads for my hands). It was very hot.

I tried to wipe the parts but it won't come off, even when hot.

It appears to be very old oil or something. It's all over and the wick is hard and stiff with it.

I have it all apart now and I am thinking of trying carburetor cleaner or thinner next. Otherwise I will hit it with the dremel and wire . That is last resort because I don't want to mar the patina of the brass.

separately, they do come apart. You'll notice on the outer ring of the gimball, there are two studs, at 90 degrees from the outer mount bolts. Those studs have a mini 'bar' through them (they look like a mini bollard) ... just unscrew them - be sure and hold on to the lamp!

does not have the mini morring bollards you speak of but I will try to unskrew the gimball next time I'm on the boat...was pretty damp here today.
Pretty typical for this summer and fall this year so far.
But, I do own a boat.
