Well due to a badly hacked number of bulbs being replaced by a third party Diyer with poor tape and twisted wire wraps and use of LEDS! I am making progress with all bulbs being back to bulbs and not Leds but more importable and hopefully found a source for the leads to be correctly re-terminated back into the PSU instead of the hap hazard takes of Diyer soldering to the pins and other issues!

Found these and look like they might be a solution

Good Grief- i though for a moment there he was going to show this fitted to a Kenwood!

Thankfully not, but clearly has time on his hands at becoming a pointless celebrity!
