Anybody like preheat fluorescent lighted signs and clocks? « on: September 03, 2023, 01:30:44 AM » Author: WorldwideHIDCollectorUSA
Since most preheat fluorescent fixtures with starters that I can find on eBay are lighted signs or lighted clocks, I wonder if anyone has a strong appreciation for them or have any such fixtures in their collections.

I got an old 7-Up clock from my grandma's (closed for many years) antique shop. It has a preheat florescent lamp.

I'd love to find a Westinghouse lamp sign that's preheat...I know, good luck with that!
