Thorn KSP London Line - Tubes fitted

Well here it is, its been a very very long time coming, a lot of money, time and effort went into this one but finally, the Thorn KSP London lines extensive restoration and rebuild has been completed. It was also installed immediately after reassembly, finally getting some more storage space freed up, and ending its 8 year hiatus of lying around doing nothing.

The 8w bulkheads do a great job in showing just how huge this fitting really is. Of course as is expected from this old kit it fired up straight away, a testament to Thorns once impressive build quality. With the tubes in place its clear to see just how compact a fitting this really is, theres barely any room between the tube and fitting, however being that tubes on SRS gear prefer a good earth, perhaps this is a good design anyway. The Thorn and Osram tube seen fitted have since been swapped out for two Sylvania tubes, as the Thorn seen here is noticeably dimmer when lit

This now makes three SRS 6' fittings installed, the next restoration of the 4'th fitting will begin soon, and will be installed on the other side of the bulkheads to this.
