I have a number 8 alladin looking at you vidio it has the hole in the midle all the way threw is there any way you could do a vidio on. That modle i just came by it an i would like to no how it put to gether mine i think is missing the wik riser an flame spredder an what type of wik would it take thanks so mutch
The "Kosmos" you show is a Gaudard version of a Matador, minus its flame spreader, they aren't very good burners sadly. Actual Kosmos burners don't have the deflector cone and have a taller wick tube.
@@TheWickShop yes, I remember having one once, it was a nightmare to get a good flame, not a patch on real Matador burners. Gaudard don't seem to care about things like correct chimneys, they sell some Kosmos lamps with Vienna bulge type chimneys on their website (last time I looked).
Honestly though, if you run them as a kosmos with one of our sans-rival pattern, chimneys outside of the wick being difficult to raise and lower, they do pretty good.
@@TheWickShop I've been after a perfection heater for years, all i come across is gutted ones with a bulb.... i did find one with the glass view, the whole bottom of the tube was glass... but it was missing the flame spreader, and good luck finding one of those.
I always recommend the Wick Shop on antique lamp forums and to fellow collectors. Hands down the best. Excited about this channel.
Thank you! We are excited as well!

I will have to look but I think the wick riser on those is included with the wick like most Aladdin lamps.

You are correct. In fact, it was so bad as a Matador that we took the flame spreader out and run it like a Kosmos.

I hate it when i find a nice lamp or heater that someone destroyed by gutting it, sticking a light bulb in and painting flowers on it....
The worst is when someone guys and paints a Perfection heater and outs a bulb in it…

They come up on eBay occasionally but I think we may have one or two floating around. Send us an email and we will see what we can do.
