Phosco P140A gear after rewire
|
As explained on the other photo's of the P140, the lantern originally took two tubes, and was originally geared for QS. Sadly that gear had long since failed, and what came with it was a set of SS gear, with two loose starter sockets. I decided this wouldn't do for my rather OCD level of tidiness, and was duly stripped out. All existing lamp holders were renewed with matching replacements, as was the terry clips. What followed was a load of measuring, and careful drilling to allow me to secure the starter sockets to the gear trays. Finally, two push connectors from long scrapped WRTL 2600's was used to enable one to remove the gear trays from the lantern without having to unscrew terminals. Overall, it all came out very well, but at some point it will have to come out again to allow restoration to commence. For now, it works, and I'm more than pleased with the result.
