Marlin 22w circline bulkhead - Open
|
A very unusual and awesome find is this Marlin Trimline, for a 22w circular fluorescent tube, something I've never seen before. I already have a 16w 2D version, and the refractors in the diffuser break the shape of that lamp up incredibly well. The same is true here, you can barely even tell the shape of the lamp when its lit.
upon first arrival, the terminal block was oddly on the lamp side of the gear tray, needless to say it was rather fragile and broke as soon as I tried to move it. I replaced it and moved it to the opposite, and more logical side of the tray. The starter was just a normal white canister type, I thought I'd replace it with a clear canister starter just for variety.
Its now installed in my new shed, its way too nice to be left lying around.

What were the other circline bulkheads originally? I have done a couple, one is another Trimline (originally 2D) with an opal cover and the restored gear tray from a worn out one and the other is an ASD bulkhead with my own tray.
