The Humble Mechanic is another I like to watch,VW specialists but with a twist. 

Although they have put me off owning anything later than a mk3 Golf..    

Oh! Definitely more "useful" than "entertaining" but Olis Garage does lot of good tech stuff for old VWs.

On that subject - did anyone ever find out where the infamous Photonicinduction went?  Disappeared for ages apparently due to family problems, returned out of the blue, then disappeared again without a word.  I did read one or two rumours online that he was in prison - did anyone ever hear anything concrete?

last I spoke with him he is doing well, just not quite had the time or the mojo to the youtube thing of late, he certainly is not in Prison or anything of the sort! here are some lightbulbs I got from him last year for example

but I also happened to have found myself chatting away with none other than the legendary Photonicinduction! one 3 hour phone call later, and he cut me a good deal on a couple lamps that I had been searching for for a long time now!

the 1000W 400V (between phases) Osram mercury lamp on the left and the 1000W CID PAR64 Metal halide lamp in the middle! (the CSI/CID PAR lamp im especially pleased to have because I have been trying to get one since 2013~, and every single time previously I have tried to get one something has always gone wrong or stopped it from happening!)

and its funny how that worked out, in that there both lamps I had been looking for for a long time and I end up finding both from the same source! never for-saw that happening!

and he threw in a 1958 Soviet floodlighting/projection bulb on the right, as a bonus item! which makes for a very nifty lineup of 3 very different 1000W lightbulbs! 

I have to give thanks to another collector with who is also friends with Mr Photon, who saw that he had the PAR64 Metal halide I had been long searching for, going surplus and put in a good word for me with Mr Photon!
