Coughtrie FB16 Mk3 Twin 8w Bulkhead - Open

A recent eBay purchase. This was sold as 'spares or repairs', but appeared to be in very good condition from the pictures. Obviously it works fine and I believe it's actually never been used. It doesn't appear to have been mounted and there are no cable entry bungs removed

Weirdly one out of the original looking pair of ballasts is a 220v one! I wonder if Coughtrie would honour a warranty claim on a 40 year old fitting lol?

Sounds like a bargain, sellers win more respect when they advertise something as ‘spares or repairs’, and it’s actually better than what you think your buying Cool , I also find it interesting that coughtrie put the total circuit watts on the tray sticker!
