    Hi to everyone, my first post on here.
    I inherited an old Tilley SL61 hospital lamp and an Vapalux M320 about 25 years ago and used them occasionally over the years. Due to lockdown I decided to renovate the SL6l as it is quite an unusual lamp and always been admired when in use. I bought a service kit first then decided to rub it down and re-spray, splashed out and bought a new hood, globe and cage, Julian was helpful with this. i shall post a picture when complete if thats ok.

    @John Sayer Hi John and welcome to the forum. I’ll just reiterate what has been said above, let’s be seeing your lamps, especially the SL61!
    I don’t own a SL yet, though I have one in my sights from another member.....
