What really pisses me off about collecting 
What really pisses me off about collecting possibly even more so than entitled, offended, opinionated raging transexuals is when you have a really nice lamp and it dies. 
Here I have a really early GE HUNGARY so early that it is labelled just like the GB ones that were only made for a couple years - go to test it and it’s fucking dead lead wires rusted through as Danny thought. This is a real shame - this got me going through some of my other T6 2D lamps in Thorn and GE and they are all ok just this one so far being the nicest that’s fucked. 
Note the vertical etch with the Thorn date code

Yes had this several times, most recently a nice BLI 20W blue that just randomly died. Had Thorn 2D's do it too. it's always the nicest ones that it happens to Rolling Eyes

It’s really common in 2Ds even in fittings!

Luckily all the others seem ok
