Thanks  Only downside is I'll be at work Tuesday morning when the auction closes.

Well now that we here know you are bidding, hopefully nobody will bid against you!  Good luck! Did anyone here score those F8T5/G lamps?

I'm hoping.  Vintage fluorescents like this seem to be hard to come by up here.

I just looked and there's a couple more Markstone fixtures on eBay.  These are a matching set of vanity lights.  They appear to include lamps too.  Look like maybe F15T12 or F14T12. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110599495545&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_500wt_949

@icefoglights, I saw those too.  I am curious if you win that two lamp fixture, if it has the rare "tulamp" style ballast.  Please let us know! I hope you get it.  I got WAY outbid on that 6 lamp chain hung fixture!    Did anyone here get it?

Yeah i saw that. :-( I hope i get it and it comes with working vintage ballasts, either tulamp or singles.  It looked like it had only one starter  and i hope it's a spec 6 too.  But for the price i'd be happy with just the what can be seen in the photos

I would be happy with working ballasts, but a working "Tulamp" style would be really awesome, as they seem rare in the smaller fixtures.  I noticed there was only one starter also. Too bad there are not lamps included, even if they were EOL.

When I moved into the house where my Mitchell came from, it was installed in the kitchen and had spent lamps.  Unfortunately I had to leave for a few weeks and by the time I got back, the landlord's maintenance crew had relamped it with F20T12 KBs by the time I got back.  I wish I could have nabbed the lamps before they were replaced, at least to see what they were.

I am the same way.  I like to snoop spent lamps also.  The local recycle center is FUN!

Didn't win it.  Got outbid at the last second.  Just can't work fast enough on ebay mobile.  My credit card will be happier anyway.

WOW!  Cant believe how cheap it went for!  Someone is lucky! My NOS halfpiper should be at my house when I get home, according to the tracking number.
