So...the transformer in this old valve tester decided it had been on the planet long enough and spontaneously melted. The transformer in this tester has dozens of different winds and was built by the (long defunct) valve tester company, so you can't buy a replacement - the only way to repair it would have been to strip it back and re-wind the thing. As this would have been a very expensive job (and the valve tester never really did much more than tell you if the valve was good or bad - which is pretty obvious) - we decided to retire it from it's valve testing years and give it a shiny new life as a lamp...
