dont try this at home folks as highly dangerous, just curious to see if this knackered old choke actually lit a lamp, this is one hell of an advert for the long life of a GEC mercury wire mound choke, no electronic unit would ever survive the conditions this one has endured

Ha ha awsome just goes to show the modern Harvard electronic units pack up after a few years this old beast still working fine!

Lol this is just insane

Did the laminates buzz???

Made in England just after the war it's going to be good stuff

Something tells me that would fail a megger test

Now your just being fussy!
