I was no longer looking for electric motors, lights, pedals and the like, but the demand is high and the need is urgent, so I have made the decision to continue.
I lost my Lovely Man, his was this corner of my empire, but I can do this
I will still be concentrating also on the Mechanicals and the Consumables...
Everything else is running absolutely as normal, but please use email to contact me
Electrical parts on the whole, as they need testing, can be tricky and I'm not a fan of elderly wiring. However, light parts get damaged or are missing on many machines and it's hard to work in the dark. Wires have been removed (unless shown), so complete units will need re-wiring; please ensure that any work you do yourself is tested for safety before connecting...
A note on bulbs - I see many light fittings ruined by too-powerful bulbs, the maximum wattage for incandescent bulbs is 15 watts. Of course, we now have LED types, and I much prefer these, as they last a long time, are not fragile, and use almost no electricity.. And they don't get hot!
Bulbs usually come with one of three fittings - Small Bayonet, Larger Bayonet, and Small Edison Screw - I have almost no way of telling which you have with your light unit unless you have a very standard type. And, unless you are having a parcel sent (as opposed to a Large Letter), it will be cheaper to look in your local supermarket...
