MC 40 Lamp

Can anyone point me in the right direction on
the Internet to show me what a Protector MC 40 LAMP
looks like, and what was the last one to be sold on EBay.

Thanks Alan

The replies here are from Mulliner and the site it points to ia a typical Mulliner/Santaidd site. Wouldn't mind betting it was Mulliner who posted the question also, as the E-Mail address is fake. The minerslamps.tripod address he has is a blatent take off of the Big Meet web address and of an NMMA member e-bay I.D. Look also how his I.P. address changes!
Don't know what he is up tp, but it will be nefarious.

If the cap fits wear it...
I think we can see that Mr Birdsall does NOT own
a MC-40...he..he..he...

How do you fill this lamp with spirit.

Santaidd/Mulliner
The Protector MC-40 is not a rare lamp to a proper collector like myself and many NMMA Members (but I have several on the, keep for a while and then sell, shelf). But to you, numbnuts, who knows enough about lamps to fill a pinhead in 26 typeface, it will be the rarest you have!! All the other lamps you have featured on your several Alias sites are all rubbish, hardly even worth scrap prices.
And as Bill Lee says - tell us all about it, what fuel, how to fill, what it's design features are and why, etc etc. And why have you never replied to the questions on lamp designs/features put to you over your idiotic postings of other lamp subjects in the past.
And why have you tried to "clone" a legitimate reputable web address? You will never acheive any respectability no matter how you wriggle and twist, because you are a proven Cheater, Faker, Liar and Thief.
Keep on putting your "rare" lamps on, and give us all a laugh in this miserable weather!!

The lamp is filled by removing the bonnet and by
Putting a long brass tube into the base next to
The burner, the lamp used paraffin and was lit
By high tension spark as your car engine works.

One MC 40 came up for sale on Ebay in about
April 2oo9 and went for a Low price, parts missing
Had been converted to electric bulb.

2006 prices were £30-40, they have not changed much since.
Filling was by a tube through the spring loaded valve next to the burner.
The high tension spark was a common feature on most electric ignition, however the MC40 was a side lighter, by probe, earthed through the base of the lamp.
So Mulliner you have a cheapo lamp to join your other crap.
What about the answers to why you try to clone other identities and answers to the other Lamp queries?

By the way Mulliner / Manchester; Bill Lee gave you the clue above, but you took no notice!!
The MC40 was ignited by a Magneto (page 200 David Barries book - picture of two magneto relighters from Maurice Dawsons collection), so parrafin has too low a flash point for this system. The fuel is therefore SPIRIT.
So if the Dumbo cap fits - wear it, he he he!

THE MC40 WAS DESIGNED FOR MANCHESTER COLLIERIES THE DUKE OF BRIDGWATERS ESTATE AROUND WORSLEY. THEY WERE PHASED OUT FROM NATIONALISATION IN 1947 AND REPLACED WITH THE TYPE 6.
THEY WERE A PARAFFIN BURNING LAMP WITH A HIGH TENSION LIGHTING CIRCUIT.
REGARDS DAVID MATHER

Sorry Charles,Paraffin was the fuel

Also see You Tube protector lamp sevicing

Nothing revealing on the You Tube. The lamp shown is obviously a demo lamp, because they don't have the striker key in, light with a match and put a bung int lighting hoile.
MC40 definately spirit lamp flat burner high tension.

M C 40 up for sale on EBay, but with parts missing.
The high tension electron / ring lighter is not there.
Also the brass plate is new and they did not have
Pop rivets in 1940-47.
