Vintage G.E.C 80w fluorescent gear c/w 4 pin starter.

Was given this by a friend at work who has just moved into a new house and found this in the garage. He knew I was into old electronic gear so brought it in for me. Sadly the fitting this once serviced is long gone :(

I don't know how old this is but it looks ancient! Some clues are how it says "cycles per second" and also the fact that it uses a 4 pin starter! There is a code stamped on the choke "7415" is that means anything to somebody.

Capacitor is almost certainly filled with polychlorinated biphenyl and is also interesting as it states that it equipped with an "internal safety leak", or in other words; a discharging resistor.

Starter switch is an old Crysleco type F585 4-pin type.
