Troughton and Young twin 80w conversion, before
Last October, I saved these 6 Troughton and Young fluorescent fittings, complete with original starters and the Mazda Natural tubes. Out of the 6 fittings, one was missing a lampholder and black end bracket, the remaining lamp holder also being damaged. I was going to keep the remains as spares until a fellow collector came up with what would have been the original twin tube lamp holder arrangement, so immediately got to converting one of the 5 remaining fittings to twin tube, the results being what you see here. To see this fitting working completely untouched and original is a rare sight to see these days. I'd like to say all 5 fittings are still on their original tubes but annoyingly one of them decided to ring off.

This is what I had to work from, one complete fitting, and one electrically complete fitting, it was the lamp holders that sold me on converting the fitting to twin tube, certainly a job I don't regret doing, everything went smoothly and the results came out spot on.
