Bloody hell, never thought I'd see NOS Netalines Shocked where did you find these?

Bull Electrical -> J & N Factors in mid 90s. Premises and jaw-dropping stock must be long gone.

lol probably the horriblest fittings made but on the other hand what a bloody good haul

Amazing! Boxes look just like those in the TV ad, never thought I'd see real ones!

Wow! What a sight. Smile

I don't think I'd ever use one in earnest with the electric fire element/hazard along the spine. I have a 'nice' Indian-made Philips electronic ballast (discrete circuit with bipolar transistors) standing by to convert one.

Forgive my ignorance but I'm new to these forums. I keep seeing "NOS". I assume it means new but what does it actually stand for?

If your tempted to use it, it'd be fine with the shrouded heating element "resistor", it's shrouded in asbestos (heat resistent) cloth. I had mine running for about a year with no probs - and thats with 50 years of kitchen grease all over the fitting. The spine does get hot to the touch but not flash point.

Thanks Arrowslim. It make sense (NOS). And thanks amtrakuk. I might risk an unmodified installation with original resistive ballast for that authentic feel. Perhaps lower down in the house where the additional heat would be put to better use.

a worthwhile save just for the tubes alone me thinks
