Thorn LUD R1065 Invincible Thorns Mk1 Invincible batten is very distinguishable by its compact construction, and the 6 bowl clips matching that of the Mk2 Thorn Alpha 8. Later ones would see these bowl clips widened by a very considerable amount. This was salvaged along with a few others by a fellow collector from a petrol station. Upon arrival it was absolutely plastered in years of grime. Apparently this was the only one worth having as the rest were badly damaged. Even so this one still has a small hole in the cover.

Same clips as the ones in the fire stations funny isn't it these from the 70s clips are fine but the ones on the new dexters snap from new!

Its all down to cheap labor and materials. I would much rather have these than brand new stuff today, it all seems as though its guaranteed to fail on you from day one.

Did they do a stainless steel option like Wirefield do?
Dave   [03 Sep, 2015 at 12:22 AM]
I dont think they ever did with these.

Can you salvage any of these from the fire stations? :p
Slyspark   [21 Feb, 2017 at 12:02 AM]
Have to click on this every time it comes around in the randoms section. Still not got one tho Sad
Kev   [21 Feb, 2017 at 12:41 AM]
The ones in the fire stations are proper fucked sadly
Slyspark   [21 Feb, 2017 at 12:43 AM]
They even got gear that could be salvaged? Desperate for some 5' SRS gear! I want everything in my new workshop to run SRS eventually!
Kev   [21 Feb, 2017 at 08:40 AM]
Thinking about it there is one left in a kitchen that's pretty mint! Cool
Slyspark   [21 Feb, 2017 at 09:20 AM]
Could it vanish? I mean, be upgraded....
Kev   [21 Feb, 2017 at 10:00 AM]
If I get a call to lights in that station anytime soon then yes Very Happy
Slyspark   [21 Feb, 2017 at 05:25 PM]
I'd kill for one of those!
Dave   [21 Feb, 2017 at 05:59 PM]
I'm after 2 5' SRS ballasts and caps for the twin tube example that I have. It's vivatronic like but I'd like it SRS preferably.
Slyspark   [14 Aug, 2017 at 04:03 AM]
Not been back to that fire station yet have you Kev?

I have a 2 foot version from ebay but it was already broken. It need lamp holders. To get them going, the bowl is smashed. Other than that quick start gear is mint.
