Seeking parts for an historical refurbishment
Sun, 15 Apr 2007, 02:28 pmHi folks: I collect old lighting equipment and where possible restore it to as close to original working condition as possible. I am currently working on two old ground rows.
I have no date on these items and the only manufacturer label I have is SEECOL London pressed into the tin of the casing.
They take a standard Edison screw 150w incandescent lamp (domestic style) and they have a glass reflector. Why glass I hear you cry? That is exactly my point. There are twenty reflectors on these two ground rows and 4 (only 4) are broken.
On the back of the unbroken ones it says "Sunray" S.E.E.C.O.L London Patent No 142961.
I am wondering if anyone out there has anything similar. I will try and post a photo when I've worked out how. If you have a unrepairable SEECOL ground row with 4 undamaged reflectors I would love to hear from you.

I live in Adelaide but am interested in hearing from people interstate as well.
Whoever thought of putting glass reflectors on ground rows!

I must try and get a picture on here.
Is that all there is? Well if that's all there is my friend, then let's keep dancing.
