Amazing, I also didn't realise that they're still going, even though I have
a loft creaking under the weight of ancient copies.

However I actually found a use for one of them a few weeks ago, when the
starter in the fluorescent lamp in my garage failed and I didn't have a
replacement.

I remembered that there was a small circuit for an starter using a thyristor
(which I have dozens of) so after a long search the appropriate magazine was
found and the circuit hastily constructed on a piece of Veroboard, worked a
treat and the tube now springs into life instantly!
