Poor thing.

Good quality things are awesome. Cheaply made things are not.

Quote from GE101R on Nov 10, 2019 at 09:41 AM Did you ever get a side shot that shows the slipfitter? No, The Board looks like the one you showed me.

Quote from GE101R on Nov 10, 2019 at 01:36 PM Definite keeper. I’ll try to get it down before snow falls but that’s probably not going to happen.

Quote from GE101R on Nov 10, 2019 at 02:01 PM Keep that good aluminum arm with the downturn hook. 60's. Is that box associated with the light?

Quote from GE101R on Nov 10, 2019 at 02:18 PM Looks like a remote ballast but there could have been another light on the pole once that this was powering. Does not look like a contactor but you might check out the nameplate and see what it reads. Going down tomorrow ,I’ll see the box and get a pic of the slipfitter.

Quote from GE101R on Nov 10, 2019 at 05:26 PM The "box" might have a good ballast or relay inside. You sure they are both disconnected from any overheard or underground electric power source? Yes the overheads are dangling down not connected to any other pole, there is no wires coming out of the ground.

Quote from GE101R on Nov 10, 2019 at 09:12 PM Be safe and make sure the pole is not rotten at the ground. Ok, I’ll give it a self inspection, that pole was probably disconnected for a reason.

Quote from GE101R on Nov 11, 2019 at 07:47 AM Use a hammer and tap it hard all the way around the base. What would it sound like if it wasn’t safe?

Quote from GE101R on Nov 11, 2019 at 09:33 AM BTW Have someone with you and if you have another ladder, you might lean it against the pole on the opposite side that you are climbing to counter the pressure on your side. Just a suggestion. I was thinking about doing that but climbing the ladder to get it, I would lean the ladder on the side that leans the most.

Quote from GE101R on Nov 27, 2019 at 09:33 PM Don't think so. Difficult to determine unless I see the side view of the slipfitter. Have a clear sky pic here.

Quote from GE101R on Nov 28, 2019 at 01:05 PM Looks like the u-bolt on the slipfitter is facing down down. You cannot get a better side view? No the trees get in the way I’ll take a pic when I get it down.

After studying this image and other associated images and a Sylvania catalog, I think this was made by Sylvania.

A man has two lives to live, and the second one begins when he realizes he only has one.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.
