Vintage Industrial Lighting & Accessories. Herbert Terry Anglepoise Restoration & Spare Parts. Anglepoise Restoration – Part 1 « Winston's Roost.

Since then, I have regretted my impatience as I STILL prefer the 1227, and really should have just saved up and waited for the right auction (you’d think I would know myself well enough by now to know that I should wait and save for what I really want instead of settling, but …there you go). I have occasionally been checking the Ebay listings for a 1227 and the other day managed to get this one for a reasonable price: It is in fairly decent nick, with only a couple dings to the shade, and I figured with a little elbow grease, I could get it up and functioning in no time…. …little did I know how expensive the various parts are for restoration, as Anglepoise doesn’t supply any of their specialist spare parts!

At nearly 60 years old each mark and dent is a symbol of every owner, to restore would be like erasing, admitially tiny, part of the past.
