J4B: Is it still working?
Did you check the way the lamp is fitted?
Maybe there's a loose connection.
Well done!
PS My Mum was an Essex girl (Elm Park) & I was born in Romford
Excellent stuff!
But I don't understand about the bakelite that you can't get into...which bit is this?
Im in romford, if you get stuck pm me and i will sort out a light you can have free of charge
If the connections are gone there is usually a centre screw behind the silver foil bit that releases the lamp holder completely including the bakelite bits and the two white wires.
The wires are usually crimped on due to the heat and design of the end things
Incidently the white wires on that fitting can be either polarity as the universal lamp can be fitted either way round.
although marking was a good idea if you werent aware so well done

he will know what you mean, the two shrouds that go round the two Nipple contacts, the white wires use ring crimps to join to them, they are generally not repairable

This looks ideal for a household starter set - multimeter, voltage indicator and dedicated continuity tester, all in a handy case: http://www.amprobe.eu/de_DE/showproduct/115/Junior-Set/

but it is sold in the UK - the company is now owned by Fluke, and I guess they haven't got all the websites sorted out yet - contact them (http://www.fluke.co.uk) for info on where to buy.
Right now the English specs are still lurking on the Internet Time Machine from when Beha was an independent company:

Also see another discussion here: //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=26282 It's a few years old, so specific model number advice may be obsolete (and prices will be higher), but the generic advice is still sound.
