Close up side view of a battered old Benjamin Taskmaster 5ft 80w switch start fitting. Has a large dint in both the spine and the trough reflector. Works totally fine though :-)

Yeah it's a damn shame. The whole spine has been 'pushed over' slightly. It obviously still works fine and shouldn't look too bad if I can get the trough straightened up reasonably well... And thanks for the advice on the enamel, didn't know it was sharp!
