eBay win: 15 watt "shoplight" « on: September 02, 2012, 03:53:45 PM » Author: Powell

Says one side doesn't work, but one bulb looks EOL to me. No big deal. And I have plenty of ballasts....

looks like one i fixed up for a neighbor.hammertone grey?
the inside of the reflector was ugly on this one too.
shot it with dupli-color gm arctic white since i have 2 cases of it.
installed vita lite tubes and conspired with his wife to sneak it back into the workshop and hang it where it had lived for 60+ years before it quit.this one is a "marantz"
i have one like it at the shop that i cleaned up.it does not have the wing reflector.it has the look of being built in a gutter section.says marantz ultra violet.

Did you buy the others, or did he sell them? It says he has more like it.  The way those end sockets are made is similar to my 2xF15 bug zapper.
You got a great deal.  The seller just posted the other two for $64 and $74!

This one is the only one I got as it was the only one he had for sale at the time, though he mentioned the others.

Is it well made?  What kind of ballast(s) does it have?  I may consider one of the others if it is good quality.

If it is nicely made and has a good ballast/components, I may make an offer on the other one(s).

It was delivered today, but I am at the radio station. I will post more this evening. Now if I can find the camera.....


 ???

Can't find camera. It's rather light, and one side lit immediately, and 30 seconds later the other did, but the bulb is EOL as I expected. It needs cleaning and will get a repainting of the reflector. It has 2 Sylvania 20 watt starters and one that was on the EOL bulb is VERY slow. I just tried and there is PLENTY of room for T12 lamps.

Cool!  I will keep that in mind! It does seem like an interesting fixture.
