All of the original had chrome edge. .........lm

Ed's experience wins out again! The photos I've seen of the "blue" lenses are actually green, it seems; and the "blue" ones are UV-attacked examples. Appropriately-coloured nail varnish or a small disc of Cinemoid (coloured, heat-resistant effects-lighting film) inside the lens helps the right colour to shine through.

I've put a red 1.2W lamp in mine.

Haha, you know whats funny, it does have a chrome collar, my memory played a trick on me. Domed top! Original LM?

LM - You can see mine here... All original! ;)
Your knowledge is better than my memory and I look at the damn thing every day!

Guys - Notice the ignition switch is replaced with an arcade button... Thats the problem im going to have later when I start to wire and have no prime position.
