Put anything here that's badly designed/made, failed, catastrophically exploded or just an epic fail in a general sort of way.

Yeah that description is just gibberish! Looks like it would be alright with a new lamp holder and looks a reasonably old one too but that price it just a joke, even an NOS one shouldn't go for that much.

If they threw in a replacement lamp holder it's worth a tenner at best

It's £190 now, it's not selling so let's try and attract some Interest by increasing the already excessive asking price from £100 to£190!
