Lamp Restoration, replating, dent removal, etc. Dave Ward, prop. Absolutely incredible craftsmanship and attention to historic detail. Highly recommended by me!

Owner's Manuals for some kerosene heaters:
- Perfection Heater Owner's Manual & Wick Installation
- Aladdin Blue Flame Owner's Manual & Wick Installation
- Aladdin Tropic S181U Owner's Manual, .pdf download I made from an original manual.
- Aladdin TR2000/TR3000 Owner's Manual, .pdf download 2.1 MB. The TR2000/3000 series heaters are very unique, with a different wick raising system than any other heaters I have seen. I made this pdf copy from an original owner's manual, but it used blue ink and bled through on scanning, so I had to photocopy the original pages before scanning. The quality is not as good as I would like, but it is the best I could do with what I had to work with.

Auto Motor Heaters
- operating instructions I made from an original brochure.
- Everglow P-E12 Owner's Manual, pdf download, 1.2 MB. I made this from an old, faded owner's manual, but it's here! This owner's manual is valuable as it has instructions for heaters with a metal screen over the catalytic converter. Everglow heaters were well made.
- KOGY 100 - a .pdf download I made from the factory owner's manual. This manual is valuable because the KOGY 100 uses an iris-type shut off mechanism common to some other older convection heaters, and the proper method of heater operation and disassembly is illustrated in this manual. This KOGY is the heaviest, best-built heater I own.
