Rusty Revo 80w Bayonet Cap Fixture Here you see a rusty Revo 5-foot bayonet cap fixture. This was bought (rescued!) from an 'upcycler' lady who said that, if it didn't sell, she would have used it as a planter! This is going to stay just the way it is for now, no paint. I've serviced it, rewired it and replaced the dead 4-pin starter and socket with a 2-pin. It's now fitted above my work bench & will be used regularly. I've taken out the vintage Cryselco Daylight tube that it came with and fitted a BNOS (1974) Philips 80w White, which I have plenty of. Keywords: revo;bayonet cap;rusty

Great find, glad she didn't get to upcycle it, some of these upcycled items are just plain weird and people pay silly money for them

Used it as a planter - The silly old cow! Rolling Eyes What did she charge you for it?

Just thinking this could be around 75 yrs old!

so circa 1942! Shocked Shocked I would love to know exactly how old this is. Haven't found anything definitive to tell me.

Guess it's top secret then. Confused

The price or it's age lol? I paid £30 for it.
Andy   [10 Jul, 2017 at 04:26 PM]
I see. £30 is not too bad considering it works. Some people are now asking silly money for old stuff like this!
fluorescent   [10 Jul, 2017 at 05:41 PM]
Yeah I thought that was a reasonable price, also I collected it on the way home from an event so fuel cost was minimal.

I could probably weld some gears onto this, or an old pressure gauge or some crap and sell it as 'steampunk' for £795 lol
