Not trying to be rude, but have you tried www.adlake.com? (AKA Adams and Westlake). Since they still make most of the lanterns, I would think they should be able to provide parts. . . . .
I know you can get globes from www.lehmans.com. Don't know if they can get an Adlake burner although they sell Deitz burners.
No rude there...Thanks for the lead Shay.
I have to admit, I am stareing at this 50 year old lantern and the last thing I expected was to have the company still around let alone, have a website. I didnt see a listing for parts but sent them a email anyway asking. I tried the other and didnt see anything jumping out at me. Tonight when I get home, I will be doing some more research to find out more. I was out this weekend with a bunch of railfans for New Years at our favorite spot and some of them mentioned different web sites. Of course, if hadnt been so plowed into my bottle of cheap rum, I would have thought to write them down. Doh.
It doesn't get any better than this:

Globes are about $20...
