Fitzgerald Lightpack fitting for 40w T12 tubes
I saved this yesterday. To cut a long story short, I went to visit my relatives and had a look round my uncle's semi abandoned garage (I already posted about some more fittings/street lanterns he has and some more stuff I saved from there). In an abandoned cabin which didn't have power any more (this place was so abandoned you could just open the door, it wasn't locked) this was on the ceiling, I was struck how good it looked considering where it was, and it conveniently had its cables cut and was tube-less and starter-less. Right at the top is a picture I took of it before I took it down. I asked my uncle and he was like "sure, here's a screwdriver" so I proceeded to take it down! Once I got home I brushed off some of the dust, fitted it with a plug and starter and tested every single 40w (and 36w T8) tube in my collection! I'm very pleased to have this as a "40w tester" now.

Same sticker as my 1992 Fitzgeralds.

I have LP's from 1990 (1x40), 92 and 94 (all 2x40) and they all have the keyhole screw latches holding the gear cover. So this would be somewhat newer

On fittings closer to the 2000s they changed to a glossy oval Fitzgerald sticker.
