I must say that I admire your dedication to this and of course the results speak for themselves! My GEC Genalux BC fitting was quite badly pitted on top, as it came from a derelict hospital with a leaking roof. I didn't try to hide the pitting, mostly because I didn't have the patience. It still took a week of work though. I was covered in brown rusty dust following sanding with the belt sander.

And your comments is why I love to work on bringing old lights back to a factory condition. Whilst the gull wing reflector is 100% pit free, the ceiling spine and gear tray have pitting, but since its very light, I didn't bother hiding it.

Are you sure you've not just taken that out of the box? Looks good as new that does. I wish I had the patience to restore something that well. Currently doing a cast iron column and so far I've killed one wire wheel and one drill and still it's covered in paint

Lovely restore, great effort and time put into that

This really is a credit to you, Dave. Proper job is that! I look forward to seeing pictures of it installed and in use.

Thanks so much for your comments. Tomorrow, I will be able to post reassembly pics and maybe even a pic of the fitting lit for the first time

Great job there dave, great to see one of these in this condition, i recall seeing these in the 1980's, and they were rusty then !
