MTFCA Forum

Found this in a collection of coils. Can anyone tell me what type it is?

Truly sad. Both Jay and Barb did a lot for the MTFCA and the Model T hobby generally over time. Our thoughts are with Barb and family.
Ross

Thank you Ron.
Ross.

What is history on Copper Topped coils vs Brass topped coils?
Should the copper be 'just copper' in appearance? polished? clear coated?

They appear to be less in numbers from what I've seen when collecting 'metal topped' coils.

Thoughts??

I may have the top. What I have is 2 1/4" +/- a tad tall with a 2" ID base.. all burners i have are different, sorry.
Ross

Thanks, guess I could have done that. Sorry. I'll check what I have.

Oh, I am flattered by all the accolades. I fully understand, I'd be checking too!

I have a RHD Tail light, but I'm sure it's prior to '26.

Can we see a side shot of it please.

Yes, Thanks to Herb for drawing us towards the EDF thinking.

Thanks Colin, boy E&J were certainly able to serve many, with a blank chimney and an added reviited piece, giving them a lot of deversity.

Bob is correct it appears to be off a 1912 EMF Carbide headlight. Thanks everyone for helping me chase it down.
[attachment]

Thanks Bob.

All I get when I google EMF is "Electromagnetic field" I've heard EMF before, but never knew what is stood for. Can you elaborate, please.

Keith, any idea who? and did they use this riveted 'badge' so to speak?

What year did E & J have a separate rivetted triangle on their Carbide Headlights chimney?

1914 RHD T. Canadian Built, exported to New Zealand and returned in early 90's Plate is newer, but The NZ helps viewers at S & S. You Brits should get a kick out of the door wording . .

I'll bet they sounded awesome!! LOL

Yes, that's what prompted me to see what's new (old).

Back on the Forum of 2018, there was a topic titled " Depression era T things"
What have you got that's odd and useful even today??
Stay in safe and healthy!!

I’m sorry to hear of his passing. This was a great site dealing with Carbide headlights.

Trying to view FordFarm.net. Been there many times, but know, nothing is coming up. I saw an earlier posting to add an ' * ', but still nada. Thoughts??

Anyone have thoughts on how / what to fix on water level control??

Thank Keuth, hadn't gotten that far yet, but put it on my list now.
Ross

I thought so, thanks
Ross

Happy New Year!! I'm trying to repair a barn find generator, but don't think it was all found. Should there be a gasket of sorts on the bottom of the top tank?

I looking for 2 decent JNO 16 Brass Chimneys. Please look at you stash.

Box this came in, was from Carlin Mfg. & Distribution in Beaumont Texas. started in 1973 , but now, not active.
Maybe one of our Texas members can shed some light on it. . . ???

Thanks Guys, The chair thoughts likely are closer to reality than T. I thought maybe a T Speedster with the curved pieces being for the firewall or seat back.

I'm assisting a daughter of an elderly Model T guy that is attempting to relocate dad into a 'home'.This 'kit' is in the tail end of his T collection and she'd like to see it find a use. The two big C shapes were not in the box with the others, They may not even belong to the same car. It was purcha...

I won this lock and chain last night at our T club meeting. It had been donated by a club member and we had held a raffle to raise funds for the club.
I was lucky enough to have my ticket drawn. Now . . . .I'd like to know more about it . . . . so put it out here for input . .

Sent you a private e mail. Might have what you need.

Ross

She's been sold. Remains in Alberta!!

Jeff both you and Chris deserve metals for what you do of your own free will. Next board meeting you should ask for and get DOUBLE your pay!!

Thank you both! it's a great tool.

Now that you've had a chance to get to your T and into your stock, there has to be one or two of these kicking around!

Thanks, I'm after a generic Victor, so, sorry this won't do. Good Luck, looks good . .
Ross

Sent e mail for further photos, please.

We found his one in a bunch from an estate. I have it at moment. No 'F' though. Not pristine. Thoughts??

Thanks Rich, obviously I don't travel amongst painters, eh? LOL
Ross

Our local spoke guru, didn't want to touch it!

One of our club members was looking for a Hayes style felloe with the notch for a Hayes rim and found this felloe, but what's with the dimples and no holes? How do you shape the end on the tenon? . . . or was this just not drilled?

IMG_1934.jpg We've been working on a deceased club members estate 'stuff' for his widow and came across two of these. With all the 'ole guys' (and younger knowledgeable guys) in the club, none have been able to come up with what we have. They are Brass, plated, have a 'JAPAN' stamped on clip. They ...

Lamps are sold, pending payment.
Thanks MTFCA for the use of this platform.

Thanks Tony.

Thanks Warren, do you have a rough idea on a year??

Ross

Thanks Mark. I'm hoping the MTFCA office or those close will add to this.

IMG_1873 (2).jpg Have been working on an estate sale clean up, of a long time member, and found this Rad Badge amongst the 'treasures'. We are wondering if it's an early MTFCA badge? or a well made replica of the MTFCA logo. It appears to be aluminum, with a 'Scotch® No. 467' adhesive backing. Meas...

price reduced to $650.00 for the pair PLUS Shipping. FORKS EXTRA, Drop me a zip code for a postage quote.

Reduced, yet again . . $650.00 plus shipping

Thanks for the responses. I have decided to order a Flat Tube rad from Brassworks. I realized that I could have a 'Canadian' reproduction with the correct 'Made in Canada' plate on the back side of the tank, and have no "Made in USA" on the tank face. My T is a RHD from New Zealand, that was exporte...

Dan, sent you an e mail. Is yours round or flat tube?
Ross

Mike, Gary has what he believes to be a Round Tube. Reasonably priced too. I'm going for a flat tube. Also, looking for Canadian match (Not stamped Made in USA)

Thanks Gary, I'll keep it in mind.

On the off chance you have a 13-14 Model T Brassworks flat tube rad on the shelf, still in a box, that's gathering dust, I'd like to discuss purchasing it from you.

I respoked, when it came time, was just in aww of early thinking.

Was introduced to this heavy tool recently. It stretches (pushes) the rim inward to tighten spokes. What are pros an cons on using this? We were trying it on and old worn wheel.

I've reduced the price on the 13-14 Carbide headlights to $700.00 PLUS Shipping now.

This set was originally all steel when found. Buckets: Steel, sand blasted, primed and painted. Chimneys...

Many of our club members have had a sign company produce 12"-14" high numbers that when mounted on the trailer roof, give a good reference point, if the trailer is stolen. Zip, of any number that is meaningful and easy to remember.

Still looking, someone must have this, or these hidden away and will never use . . .

Ralph, for some reason your message took 6 days to show up. I did respond on 30th. Yes.

Bob, I'm wanting to finish a pair of Victor Carbide lights, looking for 1 (if generic) or 2, if marked Victor Chimneys. I have this one that is generic, but need second similar, or 2 marked. Anything in you collection fit the bill?

Anybody??

Anybody???

If all doesn't work out, check '5barnauto' on e bay. He has a lot of burners listed right now. Might have what you need. Ross
