Rock twin bi-pin lamp holders, disassembled 'Rock' branded twin bi-pin lamp holders from circa 1965, as fitted to them 8ft 85w twin Courtney Pope fixtures I acquired ages ago. These have since been stripped down and had the 50+ years of dirt cleaned off them. I've also got some Philips 80w T5 HF ballasts to fit in the Courtney Pope fixture to get it up and running finally!

Had a single lampholder a bit like this, it cleaned up nicely! Going to use it for SLI/H lamps as it won't mind the heat as much as modern ones will!

Sounds like a fine use for them! These have cleaned up incredibly well also, showing no real discolouration or signs of heavy use despite their 50+ year age, and the dry & dusty knackered paintwork on the fixture indicating these have done mega hours.

Now heres a classic example of how older stuff was built properly! Very Happy , all replaceable parts held together with proper screws!
