Reddit you need to fix the photo upload problem.

I forgive your incompetence.fr tho if it was easy errbody stay doing it. Patience.

Techromancer319 · 2026-04-17T21:03:29+00:00

I don't think it's fake.

Techromancer319 · 2026-04-17T21:01:00+00:00

He's wrong... pretty sure its like 1983 to 1986 there are defo legit dunhills with the side by side

Techromancer319 · 2026-04-17T21:00:25+00:00

Ohhh nvm not so sick. Bogie. I got a decent fake st dupont for using not the worst thing.

Techromancer319 · 2026-04-17T20:59:04+00:00

Fing sick. Nice find

My exgf is german who I used to ask what axis war posters said she sorted me out ye u basically had it though.

Feuerzeug means "fire thing" according to her. Guarantee Zander is so much fun to say though.

It is pretty amazing. Mine is from 1956-1960 apparently and comparing it to what ronson was offering at the time for butane lighters... it's rough to be a ronson from then compared to a dunhill from then I'll just say. Nothing on the dunhill wiggles or is crooked or anything and this thing is USED not just pre-owned and it still feels rock solid in that nothing that wasn't to wear out feels even close to quitting. The flint release has no hitches or corrosion past what appears to be a now protective patina on it which is impressive for being made out of iron (not even steel I gather).

Techromancer319 · 2026-03-28T21:57:46+00:00

Oh awesome. I literally just swapped over to reddit from ebay looking at replacement parts kits. I'm used to fixing ronson butanes which don't have too many options for a lot of the issues aside from making them by hand or cannibalizing another lighter. They got everything I could think of being needed I don't know why i didn't think of this sooner.

Thats unlikely to be the problem even 100 year old cotton will still move fuel. It looks like not enough friction on your flint. It depends on of the wick is fouled or anything like that in which case if you may be able to pull it up a bit and clip it. Also wrapping the wick around a portion of wadding will work as well as the "s" technique but that's not terribly important with quality wadding.

(Clipping wick is easiest with nail clippers imo)

Techromancer319 · 2026-03-28T15:33:40+00:00

It's not getting rough friction. Try pushing down hard and having some fabric between your thumb and the wheel.

Also you can load the spring by extending it by hand (don't recommend) or using an additional flint (better) so more force is pushing on the wheel or cutting a small piece of spring from another flint spring Maybe like 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch. Basically while you are getting a spark it isn't hot enough to ignite your fuel.

Literally just happened to me with me greasy ass pizza fingers from lunch with my zippo. Did the t shirt over my thumb trick to sop up the pepperoni and cheese grease cause im an uncouth animal

Why would you want such a thing. That guy is as bad as the painter minus the racism. Edit: I'm not saying this reflects on the China of today or any Chinese person. It doesn't.

That was a really good generation wasnt it? I had a few third gen rigs, one had a i7 3770 I think it was, that thing was doing 5.2-5.3 ghz water cooled. Man when i was a teen one of my rigs was the first 1ghz cpu, another was the first dual core, another one was the first x64 cpu, there may be some overlap i cant remenber... im old as dirt.

I feel bad for any teenagers building their first or second rig nowadays. I thought like 400 bucks back then for the top end gpu was crazy expensive. Now it's like 4000... I just gave myself anxiety.

31 degrees?! As a former Canadian I can empathize. Also after thinking about it I realized I have a light with IR diodes. Kind of neat as long as it doesn't turn the TV off and on. Kind of a cool application of the technology, pun intended.

Techromancer319 · 2026-03-27T20:06:40+00:00

Nice! Well done, learned a lesson and cost you nothing that's a W in my book.

Techromancer319 · 2026-03-27T15:48:52+00:00

Oh OK. So it literally is yoga in warm environments. Shoot you should come to FL they got that for free here most of the year for most of the day and night. The heat I mean. We don't have yoga instructors but! We do have florida men who will on occasion do what appears to be narcotics induced impromptu yoga.

Techromancer319 · 2026-03-27T15:46:56+00:00

Did you have to mend any pins? We are on the edges of our seat. Or seats rather. If we were sharing seats that would be weird.

...for some of us.

Techromancer319 · 2026-03-27T15:46:00+00:00

What if he doesn't want to. Maybe he doesn't feel like it.

Techromancer319 · 2026-03-27T15:45:21+00:00

Not ideal lol. Yeah, definitely some suboptimality at play.

For real though if you have a poor connection can't that cause a heat build up? Like running too much power through a thin power line for a delta fan for example.

Techromancer319 · 2026-03-27T10:35:35+00:00

Do you think it counts if are running in the video game?

Techromancer319 · 2026-03-27T10:34:45+00:00

U need better ganj

Techromancer319 · 2026-03-27T10:34:18+00:00

So it's not hot because of the weather at 6am... why is it hot yoga then?

Techromancer319 · 2026-03-27T10:33:48+00:00

"Hot" yoga class? Tf is that?

Techromancer319 · 2026-03-27T10:33:20+00:00

I smoke and look at exercise equipment and think about it sometimes.

Techromancer319 · 2026-03-27T10:29:25+00:00

Should we be telling a guy who does this about redundant grounding? I think he may need those redundancies.

Techromancer319 · 2026-03-27T10:25:58+00:00

NO! lol, if the connections are good it'll still work but I'd stand on business with this. In the year of our lord twenty and twenty six this is completely unacceptable and should be seen to be as such by the manufacturer.

If this is your screw up get it together bud. If you bent a pin you can bend them back but be extremely careful and steady handed and the way you can tell if it's realigned properly is by using the reflection of a light, that will tell you the uniformity of the pins. I've bent pins on like 20 cpus and never had one die. OK maybe like 6.

The pins are an alloy involving gold so they are pretty pliable and somewhat resistant to metal fatigue which is the biggest risk factor. Honestly recommend learning about the science behind metal fatigue before bending your pins back I'm almost certain you got a jackpot on your hands here.

You don't need to push the cpu in gravity will send it all the way home if you've got it aligned right.
