The lamp by the Ufa plant, on the base of which 13.5 V 0.18 A is listed, came across to me when disassembling scraps of garlands bought for a penny at a flea market, as they say, by weight. The production date is not known even approximately, but judging by how much the base is darkened, I assume that this is the 1960s-1970s. There is paint residue on the flask. The last photo shows working at a voltage of 5 V.
When this lamp came to me, at first I thought it was UE-200, but of some strange shape. However, under a layer of dust, a stamp was found, which says that it is U-500, 500W, ZEMI 6, 1960.
I was never going to become a collector of railway traffic lights, I understand them less than superficially, so I will be grateful for any clarifications and explanations regarding this device from more knowledgeable people.
This is the first of two train traffic lights that have graced my room this year. Its acquisition history is short. I dreamed of having an old railway traffic light for a long time, but I drove those thoughts away. And once in summer I was sitting one evening on the prism of a dead end of an industrial station and drinking beer. And suddenly I realized that I needed to act. I got up, found the railway employee and agreed with him to buy out the old traffic light, allotted to be replaced with a new one. During the acquisition process, no one was hurt and everyone was happy.
Double-lamp fluorescent fixture 2x40W. A conventional splitted-phase starter ignition circuit is used. One lamp is switched on through the UBI choke (photo 6), the other through the UBE in series with the capacitor. The capacitor is neatly placed in a plastic case and strapped with a galvanized tape with a cardboard lining. It has a specific smell. An interesting feature is the use of chokes from different series of the UBI 093 series, and the UBE 910 series.
This lamp appeared in my collection quite unexpectedly, during the analysis of old garage stocks of the now deceased grandfather of one of my friends. Among the unnecessary trash on the shelf in the dust, there were several Soviet fluorescent tubes, including this one. At first examination it did not stand out as anything interesting: regular T12, the marking was not visible. After washing and drying at the end of the lamp at a certain angle of incidence of light, I could hardly see the LG 40 10.70 marking and the PZGRL plant icon.
Flasher for Christmas garlands. Received in 2014. Has a smooth adjustment of the flashing frequency and the "off" position. During operation a neon lamp shines in a snowflake at the front panel. I don't know the exact production date, since the device is under two (!!!) seals and I will definitely not break them for this. If it ever breaks down (which is impossible for Soviet technology), I'll find out the year of manufacture. The top of the regulator has a dust protection fabric and the insides are not visible.
Independent ballast for 250W Mercury Vapor lamps, classics for upgrading of all kinds of "hat luminaires" and part of SZPR-250 luminaire. These are ideal for dry conditions, but they can also work outdoors. The problem is that the cover screws rust, the seals crumble and water flows freely inside. We call all chokes of this type simply "gatchin".
A full box of starters from the KRZ storerooms. Full production date is indicated on the factory label. No differences from the 80C-220 without an index were noticed. The box with the label and all 50 starters are one indivisible exhibit.
