I know the bottom line is that the electronic (and old Philips
70-125W) starters work, just that the new 4-80W ones don't (or not
fully).

Would you use / have you successfully used 4-80W starters on 70W tubes
do you know / remember please Adam?

I think I'll try to pick up some branded (Philips?) 4-80W starters and
see if they work reliably in my lamps.


Just had a look on the van (I keep starters). Well the first one I
picked up was rated 4-65W and 80W!
