Toronto Transit Commission Map from Joe
From my visit to Canada. Joe included this in the box of goodies. Perhaps you remember this map being in his room backlit with strip lights? Well here it is! Looks great! thanks Joe. :-) This is supposed to be a slide-in panel inside the subway car that is backlit by F72T12 slimline lamps. I won't be backlighting it but someday maybe I'll backlight it with a couple F20 strips or something...

Also you can see a 1982 Westinghouse Lifeguard on the shelf with my MICHAEL plank, which has a couple GE nameplates taped to the sides. The spare tag that came with my M-250R and a flawless December 1960 GE M-400 tag, which is about twice as thick as the black-and-silver one. The black and silver one is about as thick as the heavy duty Reynold's Wrap (aluminum foil) sold today.

you can also see my insulator collection, which consists of six insulators between two shelves. Oh and Eggbert, my little baby chick lol. I may be 16 but I still have a couple stuffed animals around. That one and then there's a red cardinal from when my parents went to Niagara Falls when I was a baby (before all the 9/11 stuff happened) that chirps when you press it's backside. Also have a penguin named Admiral. (a Ty beanie like Eggbert). Then I have Chirpy, who's a little chick that was given to me by the hospital when I was born. I still have it to this day. It definetly holds a true value in my heart. The cardinal is cool since it's from Canada. The rest of them I just don't have the heart to get rid of. I guess I can donate them to the salvation army. I will always keep the carninal and Chirpy though. Chirpy's been with me since the day I was born. Poor guy's a little worn but looks great for a stuffed animal that was owned by a little kid lol. I didn't originally have a name but I guess Chirpy was the name I had always called it (I don't think it ever chirped though, just a cheap stuffed animal they proably gave all the newborns). It's more firm than the newer stuffed animals, which seem like they're missing some stuffing.

Nice! You should find a little NEMA ballast assembly or F-can 100w MV ballast and socket so that lamp is operational in addition to being on display!
Don't feel bad, I found a few stuffed animals and childhood toys in particular that have sentimental value when I went through my late mother's house after she passed that I refuse to get rid of.

It's screwed into a socket from a GE M-250R2 with the M-250R2 socket bracket still attached. Not connected to anything though. I don't want wires all over the place lol. It would be cool if it lit up though.

LOL I have "wires all over the place" in my workroom with both 120VAC and just recently added 12vDC too...

Looking good on your wall, glad you like it. Yours is the newer 2013 edition Razz.

Here's mine, I have some tandem mounted T5 strips behind it backlighting it. On the subway cars the map slides into the curved light diffusers. Inside each 6' section is a F72T12 lamp.
