Guys, I do like your thinking! However I'm in the process of getting my Permanent Residency so a conviction for vandalism if I was caught, hmmm probably won't help my chances Wink Wink

True! Have a nice word with the building owners - they're probably just going to buldoze it all one day anyway. Shocked

Got the Permanent Residency approved today Very Happy so now I can vandalise and/or steal whatever I want LOL.

Congratulations Al! Go get it LOL! Never known of a 1kw SBMV here! Looks like some birds have been nesting in there too!

Yeah I think it's been used as a rubbish bin as it's right next to a footpath. 1kW SBMV are around but are getting rare. I used to have a couple of very-used 750w versions made back in the days when EYE lamps were quality, unlike now. The filaments were so tough in them that the arc tube would degrade before the filament died until in the end all the light would come from the filament and hardly any from the arc tube, if it still struck up. One of the two 750w versions I had would take hours to strike and when it did it would take out the fuse as the start-up current was so high.
