Eh, don’t feel too bad. It’s basically a knockoff of the GE Powr/Bracket.

Well, the legit powr/brackets do show up often such as in 175W MV and a 250W HPS on eBay, however they tend to be on the pricy end since they’re bulky to ship. I don’t use Marketplace so I can’t say much. The older AE / ITT stuff as a whole is hard to find on eBay.

I would get too worked up over it. This stuff is stashed everywhere in warehouses and storerooms all over the country . My NOS OV-400 from 1972 and BT25's NOS Unidoor 250 were surprises that just appeared for sale on day ! This stuff is STILL out there so BE PATIENT !! When you're ready and able to get one , one will turn up somewhere !

I know, but i am sure by the time i am older, those warehouses would be cleared, and i would never get one. That is one of my fears

My OV-400 sat on a shelf somewhere from 1972 to 2019 !! You'd be amazed by what's sitting on the shelves in small towns & utilities !! Back in the 90's , I worked in a tiny ford dealership (12 employees!!!) in a small town in Georgia . Our parts room had some NOS parts from the 50's still collecting dust on the shelves !!  You need to not get so worked up over this stuff !! All you're gonna do is worry yourself into an early grave for NO reason !     FYI : some of the coolest things I own were discovered completely by accident !    My GE Form 109 popped up in the middle of an eBay search for something COMPLETELY UNRELATED !! I literally TRIPPED over my Joslyn MV141 Spaceship while going through a warehouse at a closing junkyard !!

Oooo 1950's car parts! that would be lovely to have to restore a car form then, which i might do when i am older. Yeah, i seem to stress a lot. I assume it is from my anxiety but not completely sure.

Stress is a bad thing ! Last summer I got transferred to a different department at work , My pulse went from between 115-140 down to around 80-90 !!! The other department was full of tight deadlines and unskilled people . I found I'm much more relaxed once I get home and even sleep a little better now .
