They certainly used some heavy gauge metal on that chassis and no mistake, shame that they didn't build the electronics in the same style.

As these have a linear PSU the good ol' dim bulb tester works fine on them with 100+W bulbs.
Specmaster:
If its just the power supply on its own that was powered up, I would have thought that a 40W bulb would be best as there wouldn't be any loading on it?

I'd have loved a chance to rifle through your company's archives, I bet there's some model-maker's gold in their filing cabinets!

Which had already been put to good work, as all blind landings of the stairs had a large vitrine showing former and actual products in model form.
But seriously, with all those Spielberger and Jentz titles and lots of coverage given even to the late war prototypes, I would not expect that. Maybe constructive details, but nothing external that isn't covered somewhere. But maybe I'm wrong. I will not find it out, as I have been there for a some projects only.

I really should build one of them. To be honest I’m not sure if you can get incandescent bulbs here. I’m all LED and haven’t bought one for about a decade as EU have rightfully banned them. Not sure that helped as I just leave my LED ones on all the time instead of worrying about the electricity bill :-DD
