Lighter Repairs

[HeadMisfit]

I managed to snag a rather uncleaned dunhill rollagas on the weekend via Ebay. It has the original case and printed material. Stains on the case match the stains on the lighter so Im 95% sure they are the same age.

Im awfully sure its going to need more then a tooth brush and alcohol. Im not a mechanic, and my fingers are messed up enough that I had to give up making model airplanes 15 years ago.


elegantlighters.com ARS seems a popular option, is that the best option, or is it smarter to try to see who Dunhill recommends first?

I have used Elegant Lighters' ARS (Authorized Repair Service) and can attest to the quality of their work.

Dunhills mothership finally responded to my email.

Elegant Lighters is the only place they recommended to me. Somewhat tells me a fair deal on them being able to get correct parts.

Although with the new design of the rollagas internals, I can only wonder how they can still work on the old style.

I've had great results with elegant lighters for Dupont restoration as well.

I have TWO dunhills on order that most likely will need a visit..

BUT the funny thing is, the lighters arent fakes, and have the factory cases and paper works. SO a decent overhaul and spit shin only helps the value.
