Uncommon Touch Tip Lighter Repair

Not so common repairs but seen often enough to mention:

  • Split flint tubes
  • Flint tubes that have broken loose from the solder joint where they anchor to the frame and need to be silver soldered back into position.
  • Replacement of missing or damaged parts — replacement flint spring and ends:
  • Replacement wands and/or wicks

All involve extra work and are quoted to the collector before being undertaken.
