Under Development: The Retro3a/724 Rheostat
We're on a mission to do whatever we can to bring Air Ministry lamps back to a working life
After all, they are far too elegant to be locked away gathering dust
So we developed a LED-friendly rheostat unit to fit upstream of the lamp (see below)
But we're restless and love a challenge
Could we make a superb quality replica of the original rheostat?
One that was LED-friendly?
Seems that we can.....
Here's the prototype
A perfect facsimile of the rheostat body and control thumb wheel
On/off click-switch and seamless dimming control
Just like the original
Alchemy in the Retro3a workshop !
Hand made and crafted by us
There's a lot of detail work and development behind this
The prototype is shown bolted to a standard mounting plate
But it can also be fixed direct to the cast type of mounting fork
If you're interested in this option, please get in touch
Maybe we can be persuaded to make a few more......?
