Yeah I forgot to include Contempo in my original post. The lighter was made in Japan for Zippo and assembled in the US. Unfortunately Zippo discontinued service on them in 1998 and won't honor the warranty, there's a fantastic video on YouTube on maintenance of the lighter and it was able to assist a gentleman on another forum bring his back to life for the cost of a mini Phillips head screwdriver, if you find a working one you like I'd seek out some Zippo butane and perform the maintenance, this will purge the lighter of contaminants and the Zippo fuel will keep it lighting properly, you can switch to a highly filtered fuel, 7x or more filtered later.
