Crompton Star 5ft Fluorescent Fixture Here you see a Crompton Star 5ft batten This is heavy, very well made & has a Crompton C432 Quickstart ballast fitted. I've been told these were designed to compete with the Atlas Atlantic. It had a likely original Philips tube fitted with a date code 5K = October 1975 Picture 2 [url=http://80.229.24.59:9232/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=6639][u]here[/u][/url]

Lovely, i have a twin SRS 5ft version of this, sadly both ballasts were bad when i got it so its not original anymore but fixed.

I think the Crompton C432 ballast in these are actually SRS rather than Quickstart. It uses a series 8.4uF capacitor, and depending on circumstances, does the lovely fade-in start. I've had quite a few of them and they're always noisy and some have had been bad, usually internal shorting so any tubes fitted get immediately fried!

If the cap is in series between secondary winding on ballast and one of the tube pins then yes, it's SRS. If the cap has it's own 2 terminals on the ballast and all 4 tube pins also have their own terminals, more likely QS. The 8.4mfd cap kind of gives it away as SRS too. This one is remarkably clean, not come from your work, or if it did, somewhere a little less grimy?
