Bought this today, have wanted a pressure table lamp for a while. Not the cleanest example but all original parts as far as I can tell.

It'll be nice to see it working. Has more than a hint of 1970's Dr Who baddie about it.

The factory building still exists, it’s a Dunelm now, I worked there when it was a B&Q.

Would be nicer if it was still manufacturing these instead of pillows and curtains.

It certainly would. Back in the day it employed a huge local workforce, when we manufactured world leading products.
It stands on the A40 and has a huge tower. Some of the building retained its original fittings and signs.
I was born in the wrong era.
