Juno Flame Speader

I have recently bought a nice embossed brass Juno #2 lamp. Someone at
some point and time had done an electrical conversion. Luckily they
did not damage any part of the lamp except that they had tossed out
the flame speader. I would like to know what the flame speader looks
like so if I find one I can put it aside so that I can restore the
lamp back to kerosene at a later date. Thanks - Steve

Steve: Is the #2 the big store lamp? I'll look at my accumulation in
the shop later to see if I have an extra (and I'm sure someone who
reads your question will. I'd hope someone will offer to send you
one!). I'm reasonably sure the FS is like the Rayo...thimble with a
disk atop it. The store lamp doesn't seem to have a disk like the
Rochester. The table lamp Juno restores well, and seems a better
burner than the Rayo, but is still nothing special for those used to
an Aladdin! I've never been able to restore a store lamp without
unacceptable smoking. :: Fil

The lamp in question is a table lamp with a heavy cast foot; about
the size of a Rayo lamp. I figure that I could use a Rayo FS because
the lamp socket that is currently in it fits in the draft tube nicely
like they do in the Rayo. Thanks again. -

Steve: There IS a specific FS for the table JUNO...I didn't have one
in the shop. One size is a perforated thimble with a disk very near
the top, another size in just a thimble with a constricted "waist"
(images are in the reprinted Edw. Miller catalogue). As long as the
disk is marginally larger than the wick itself, it will spread the
flame, so I guess, if the shoe fits, burn it (awful mixed metaphor,
but clear!) :: Fil
