The second one comes in October, unless you want it now..? 

I’ll take it now, don’t want any slap interest!

Anyway makes me wonder if you can take out a slap loan.

They look good, should be great when cleaned up 

You might want to post the photos in the gallery, they may get more attention there 

80W ballasts are reasonably easy to find on eBay, if you get stuck let me know, I think I've got a spare somewhere.

Today I got my two Philips TB200 fixtures. Probably a bit boring
standard fixture for most people here. But I think they are nice...

This is how they should look like after good cleaning.

One had a 80W HPL-N and the other clearly not an original lamp...
No ballast for the HPL-N unfortunately...

Owww! What logic is that, besides you only slapped me once!

Ok so I got the date wrong, that means I can slap people twice

Afraid that one is on the 23rd of October.

Five fingers.?? 
Personally I've only got four, and one thumb... 

“Aww, but doc I have finger insurance!”

“A thumb is not a finger.”

Do you think these might work?

Excellent idea Olav !!

@ Joe Maurath, Jr  & sox35 : Living to the "century mark" would be great ! Then again , immortality would be nice too! (imagine the collection you could amass that way !! )

No, I don't think immortality would be very good. It seems great until you realise what it actually entails. Losing friends and loved ones is just the start. Think about it. A longer life, certainly, but not forever.
