Interesting and nice(ish) find, I didn't know the Twistpaks had a quick connect on the ballast tray. When does this date to?

Oh and what familiar looking tiles you have. Laughing

It seems some of the Twistpaks had them and others didn't - the full Twistpak I got just had wire nuts but the other ballast pack/bottom assembly had one of these disconnects, it is just to connect the top assembly of course. I doubt I'll use this for anything so I will just take the ballast out and possibly put it in another light. The date was nowhere to be seen on the label, and those tiles do look very similar.

A Twistpak Ballast Tray!

I got this out of a Twistpak ballast assembly that was attached to a pole that was laying on the ground after a water main break. I will likely take it apart for the ballast and socket since I had to cut the leads short when removing it, plus I have no use for it.
