Wrtl 2600 my collection (old pictures)

This is the old pictures of my WRTL 2600. I have since replaced the gear with Philips magnetic gear, and replaced the mini-cell with a 2-part photocell.

Here is the insides of the lantern.

Here is the 70w SON-T lamp

Undoing the 2 screws holding the gear tray in place, the gear can be seen.

The gear and the destroyed capacitor. Click on image to make it larger.


I had to replace the control gear, as the old gear nearly killed 2 lamps. 1 Edison 70W SON-E and 1 osram vialox 6Y 70w lamp. I replaced it with a Philips dynavision 70w SON ballast. I do prefer magnetic gear, but that magnetic gear had to be replaced, and this is the only 70W gear that I had.

Here is the connections. The earth wire is white as I didn’t have any proper earth wire.
