Light not working, needs repair.

[Lucien Nunes]

I have an old light in the workshop that has not been used for a long time and needs some TLC. First to put a name to it (not you, Marconi) wins a weekend for two in sunny Hertfordhire loading vans at the warehouse. You can ask questions about the pics.
First problem, this was jammed with hardened grease

UFO one of my favourite programmes takes me right back to my childhood just one series with 26 episodes. Mostly filmed in and around Pinewood studios no doubt lit by carbon arc lights.

I wish my work was as interesting as yours Lucien...

It's not always this interesting. We are known for the exotic but we have plenty of bread-and-butter projects too. I have more or less managed to wriggle out of nailing things to walls, pulling cable, rigging shows, etc. but it's nice to wire the occasional theatre dimmer room to keep a hand in, and MI work on the few occasions it's needed.

No to automotive and machine tools.
More wrecked threads, this is a main terminal where two screws clamp the cable against a casting. They're 10/32TPI screws so I'll run a tap in and see if the casting is retrievable
