The atlas super 5 has a burnt out paxalin pin support, the pins are just hanging on the wires, but it still fires up if your carefull inserting in the lampholder. The philips ones also suffer with breaking pins, think its the years of damp they had been in

Any way of getting away with soldering the pins back on the Philips? I done it with a GE not so long back and it's worked a treat?

could have a go, not sure what to do with these tubes actually, they are VERY old, but very knackerd, look awfull lit, dim and blochy

Well worth keeping though give them a nice clean and polish the caps up a little

I'd just put them in a fitting and use them lol. That top one is a super five? Shocked with big deep brass caps?
