Discuss Vintage switchgear restored and installed to form part of my living room. in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Looks like one of these really hip and trendy barber shops you see sometimes on YouTube or could be a Really cool coffee shop in New York or London

Awesome
 
Excellent stuff. It is a pity that more people don't have this level of imagination with redundant gear. They only see copper $$$.
I have many questions but the overriding one is:
Q1. How did you get this past the interior design committee?
Actually that is a stunning achievement in its own right. I thought I was pushing the boundaries when I tabled the idea of a theatre lighting switchboard to control the lights.

No, wait, this is a trick. You've moved into a substation! Go on, let's see your 'garden!' It is air-insulated?

This is my one. It's not in my living room and it's not in such nice cosmetic condition, and doesn't have the protection relays and metering. To be set up at MEET as an exhibit and teaching aid. We also have a remote panel and telecontrol system to link it to the main panel.

All very well, but it takes a month of training, wearing PPE and a permit just to turn on the telly…..
which telly is out of shot and a `1956 Baird 2 channel 405 line , all valve unit, the woodwork polished to a high shine. of course, with today's regulations, TV should be metal enclosure or enclosed in a non-combustible (metal) box .
