Re: Old torches - anyone here collect them?
I must admit that I started with £ shop torches, and also more expensive 'police' types at £12 a go. Two of the latter were faulty on arrival. I do use £ shop ones. and find they are just as good as more expensive ones - they last a few months and are never reliable, with odd exceptions. I don't want to spend a fortune on torches, and I like old things, so it's very agreeable to me that a rescued and repaired old torch works better lasts longer and is better made in the first place! Say no more as we have had a thread on new torches. I guess this comes back to the debate around how original a restoration should be.
