But unless you are looking for a historical replica, I'd suggest you visit Peter White's website and look at his bottle generators. The cheapest Dymotec 6 generator will have much less resistance than that old bottle of yours, and the Luimotec headlight also uses good optics and a halogen bulb, so it might be worthed to spend extra for the new headlight as well.
