Does anyone on this site have one of the cube fixtures from the 1964-65  Worlds Fair in Flushing Meadows New York?

Not that I know of.

According to this site, there are some in active service in Orange County, NY. And supposedly some made it into the hands of collectors.

Sometimes it just takes time and concerted effort to learn something new. Don't give up before you get there.

I originally thought they were Wide-Lite cubes but it looks like they're something else. I wonder what lamps they used...almost looks like GE's short lived panel F lamp.

Yes, I have been chatting with someone who has one. He did some measurements  for me. I want to build one, not sure which configuration yet.

You are correct they had the GE Panel fluorescent for these cube fixtures.  The fixtures were manufactured by Westinghouse ( from what I have read about them).
