I see these Westy fixtures occasionally in my area in MI. Very distinctive tall PC socket. This has the same mounting arm as mine (from late 60's..maybe '67) except it came with a NOS Fisher Pierce unit and the hood is different...has the ripples.
Sadly there aren't many of them left around here. Once contractors went through most of what remained was changed. Luckily I was able to save most of them. Though I occasionally find some oldies they are for the most part gone.
Contractors? Did the city take over ownership of the lights and then contract the maintenance out to private companies? Did they install HPS ones in their place or use cobraheads or LEDs? The one Jace sent me will remain safe in my collection. Looks great with the new coat of hammered silver paint like these originally had.
Same here, especially outdoor slimlines! Problem with those is when people put 60w energy saver lamps in.
Same in CA, remember that one gas station cum muffler shop in Atascadero we streetviewed Mike?
No, we have contractors that basically go through and relamp and pc all the street lights. Luckily where this is located is still mostly mercs. We still do the service calls for outages. It's a routine maintenance that's required.
Ah so they won't relamp these? Do they relamp and PC lights even if they work? Here they tend to replace lamps and PCs together but I've noticed cases where the old PC is left in place (since the FP Sun-Tech PCs they're using suck in plain English).

Refractor looks the same too.
