Yup.I bought a Vapalux lantern from a guy in Israel some years back. To save on
shipping he took it down to its component parts so it fit in a very small box.
The problem was I'd never even SEEN a Vapalux before and they're almost nothing
like a Coleman...It took me a long time to get it back together and working
correctly. At that point there wasn't anybody selling the correct mantles in
the US so I had to modify a mantle from another lantern to work. Interestingly
that mantle is still working good ~5 years later.

The ultimate challenge is to try and put something together without a manual. I
have tried that myself and actually have been successful. Sometimes, I don't
have anybody around to read the manual, and since it is not in Braille, I just
go for it!
