gonna save:
6 SYLVANIA GTE F40 Daylight lamps 3 WESTINGHOUSE F40 Cool white Blackenders 8 PGT17 tubes i think both 6 foot and 8 foot. or whatever the powergroove t17 equivalent is... 1 or 2 construction flashers.
I may or may not also make a side stop to save a Westinghouse econowatt T17 retrofit lamp (one of those T12 lamps with T17 mogul bipin base)
all on a bicycle. without a trailer. and the power grooves are 10 miles away lol. the daylights and westy's are closer (3 miles) but hauling any bundle of tubes farther than 50 feet is a pain in the butt lol.
i will do it though, because if I dont they'll certainly be gone for good. probably end up smashed by some dumb kid with a rock.

Good luck man !!! Remember to take tape to bundle them with . And maybe some form of padding so one end can possibly rest on the handlebars.

I completed it partially last night and today.... All that's left is the power grooves... Which are the biggest trophy of all for this particular mission... Although I think I'll add a couple high bay lights to this particular mission... I believe theyre 50s or 60s vintage... They're must saves!
