Looking at the Osglim

[@tonyboing2312]

Happy New Year, Doz :) Nice to see this Osglim working! I saw something similar in a very old Cossor Oscilloscope as a teenager. Gas filled devices are a whole different world..... I've a hydrogen filled Barreter in my old GEC TV from 1956 to control the inrush current to the valve heaters.. The TV still works (so one of my better repairs, lol). Anyway, well done and keep the videos coming. All the best :)

Interesting little bulb, I have a few quite rare bulbs in my collection.

[@MichaelBeeny]

I wonder how many missed your quit little song at the end. I almost did after you said goodbye.

I have a couple of Osglim light bulbs from the 1940's, these plug in to a standard bayonet fitting & run on 240vac. they have a beehive internal shape. I guess they were intendrd as night lights, the envelope is a clear standard light bulb shape.

Beautiful. I'd love one,.but they fetch strong money when they come up for sale.

[@markpirateuk]

@@AndyDoz I was lucky, they came in a job lot of valves I bought from a boot sale some years ago, Iwas more exited about a couple of PX4's in the box!

Very good I saw one 40 years + 😀

Another interesting video, hope the PSU survived, Happy New Year to Doz and Mrs Doz

[@AndyDoz]

It did... Left the discharge switch on. It's only designed to discharge a cap.

[@richardh100]

great thank you very interesting looks to be like the mid 1930s 40s technology then was a lot better😊

[@G0LGS]

Thats something I've never heard of

[@wasdaletimelapse7658]

I do hope the power supply survived. How much did you pay for that little item? Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year.

[@AndyDoz]

I can't remember how much. It was a good while ago! I wouldn't have paid much more than a tenner for it.

[@AndyDoz]

It did. I just left the discharge switch closed, then upped the volts. Poor thing got a bit warm!

[@nigehomer9744]

Hope you had some spare smoke for the PSU😂

[@AndyDoz]

Always keep a jar in stock.

[@SarahJane148]

Is that an old B17 fitting

[@AndyDoz]

I've always known it as a small bayonet. It probably has a real name somewhere! Same as some oven and sewing machine lamps.

[@SarahJane148]

@AndyDoz the small bayonet holders are B17 they were used for cabinets and wall lights their not made anyone it's all screw in E14 lamps I don't think many companies use standed B22 bayonet lamps apart from us

[@AndyDoz]

@@SarahJane148 I bow to your supervisor knowledge! Thanks for sharing

[@SarahJane148]

@AndyDoz it's amazing what I remember most of its complete nonsense 😀😀
