Thorn Gamma 2

Obtaining a Gamma 2 lantern is difficult enough, but finding one with this good a bowl is almost impossible. This gem was saved from a holiday park in Cornwall, where it had been crudely converted to run a pair of compact fluorescent lamps.

The lantern would originally have been equipped with 4x 2 foot tubes of either 20 or 40w. A full restoration will include replacement of any missing original parts.

Control gear for the lamps is mounted remotely.
