Needs a bit of work. Put it in a drawer for a couple of years and see if it works when you take it out again :I

You are both mistaken, its quite clearly a mk2A, with tungsten rhenium filament. the later mk2a has a tungsten rhenium yttrium filament, as everybody knows. My mate confirms this as he,s an industry expert ;)

this is the mk2 :D

ok....so, we agree that Osram is probably the way to go, compared to the inferior Phillips and even worse mazda (terrible reliability)
