Does anyone have any suggestions ? On the net I have found some American lights such as delta retirement lamps (see attached) and was wonder if there are any Aussie equivalents ?

I didn't find myself a retirement light but I did find this old Second World War light. Not sure where from or what it's off? Anyway it should hopefully do the job?



Has anyone ever seen one of these lights before? What can you tell me about it?

I reckon it will suit the 1940/50's hyco machines I have acquired?

Not I, but if you do come across a supplier of period task lights please post back. I will too.

A few years ago I explored the same thing and here is my solution in the thread up in the Canadian forum
