MG TD TF 1500 - Lucas Inspection Lamp
| The Lucas Inspection Lamp, or trouble light. Anyone know the Lucas number for the two prong male plug? Thanks. Larry |

| Moss # 156-100 plug. Sandy |

| Thanks Sandy. I need the original Lucas number, if any one knows. Thanks again, Larry |
| Larry Brown |
| Hello Larry. The early plug number is 545025 and has the number 273 below the part number on the box. The later sample is in a plastic bag and the number on that is as follows: CAB185 under that number is 82127 and under that is 11/83. Butch |

| Great. That is what I am looking for. I was not sure if CAB185 would work. Need one for my lamp, and I wanted to get the correct one. Thank you and Sandy for replying. Larry |

| Can you imagine the doctor saying, Ok, we have this new Lucas pacemaker we are going to put in you. Wonder how many they really used? |
| Bruce Cunha |
I'd be more concerned about how the carry the 12v battery everywhere. :)

| Wow, I want one of those pacemakers! STRICTLY for my collection of Lucas/Smiths/Jaeger items. It's hilarious. I think it's only for test purposes; if your heart survives the shock of the announcement that you are about to receive a Lucas pacemaker, you probably don't need one? I trust I'm not the only one with a Smiths kitchen timer? https://www.google.nl/search?q=Smiths+kitchen+timer&safe=off&hl=nl&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=T12tU7n0O4GjO--YgUg&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=1280&bih=710 |

| You think the pacemaker is positive ground? |
| Geoffrey M Baker |
| Larry , I hope you meant the "plug"....uh and not the pace maker! LOL First thing that popped into my brain when I saw the LPM was: "hmmmm, if you learn against a metal poll with one of these inside you...is there a danger of being "welded" to it?" Positive ground can be a little tricky sometimes! Other thoughts: Does it work after dark? Does it work in the rain? Anybody know the correct gap to set the points in one of these? Early models implanted at a depth of 1/2" ...later ones at 3/4"? The "silent/tick" setting just cracks me up...when runs low on OSH does the ticking speed up? I want one of these! |

| Sorry I took so long to get this picture of the early and late style of plug that I have. As you can see the early plug has a hole thru the center and the later one has a groove. Please see attached. Butch  |

| Butch, thanks for the pictures. David, the Lucas pacemaker seems to be working ok. Came with a swith though, that said low, dim, flicker. Larry |
| Larry Brown |
| Loved the Lucas Pacemaker. Luckily, I have a young cardiologist who installed a pertronix, er, rather, a Medtronix one in me. |
