Thorn & GB GE Starters

[Liam]

Hi Guys

Over the last few weeks I've been thinking when was it GB GE stopped making Fluorescent Starters here in the UK?
Some collectors say it would of been the mid to late 90's but i'm sure I have some GB GE 155/800's here with 2002 date code?
I don't recall any UK made ones after around 2002 tho?

Sometime between 1998 and 2000 I think?

1998 PopPacks down the units had Thorn GB starters until I group relamped them, and 2000 Thorn 3x18W SS mods at Uni had Thorn "S2" (Philips made) Holland starters

But 1996 PopPacks from my Primary had GB GE starters new, so they reverted to the Thorn name towards the end of GB production?
