Hammered Holophane Wallpackette 125w MBFU

Rescued this recently. An older Holophane Wallpackette 125w, this one has the single square button on the top to open it. As you can see, it's absolutely hammered, obviously done many thousands of hours! The ballast has had it, works but hums loudly and is showing earth leakage.

Love that old ballast, and the porcelain block!, although it does look like its been on fire a bit! Surprised

Love stuff like this. Shows that it’s done the work!

nice! I've got one just like that with the open coil ballast. Mine is much cleaner tho!

It needs a restore! I'd love one of these

Mine is quite noisy, but it runs fine. It's long since lost its paint however. Going to re-spray it at some point.

I think my one of these might have to be next on the restore list - I might just have somewhere here I can use it Smile
