I watched and afternoon repeat of one of the episodes where they found a pristine looking Bolex 16mm silent projector and the first thing they said was "That would be a good to fit a light on top and make a lamp."
I nearly called out "NOOOO!!!"
When the electrician returned saying he couldn't do it I thought good. However it seemed that was due to the lamphouse containing asbestos. It eventually was valued at £0 as it could not be sold containing asbestos like that. Not turned into a lamp, but I hope it wasn't just scrapped and I wonder how many others there are out there like that.
