GEC Z9533 and Stanton 7 bracket
Early February I first lay my eyes upon this combination installed in a borough of Sandwell. I just knew I had to have it, a crazy thing to want certainly, as it weighs about 50kg's, and stands almost 6 feet tall. The bottom of the bracket had spalled off, but it was wrapped fairly early on with wax tape, so all the parts were retained. Some pieces did go missing when i removed the tape, so I'll be patching it up with postcrete and some red chippings, as the original stones are. The present pieces I had were stuck back on with Gorilla glue, and so far the repairs seem to be hanging on ok.
getting the lantern lit was the highlight of saving the whole assembly in the first place. It was no easy feat getting the wire down the bracket though.
