Nice find! I know of a few retrofitted M-250As left here.

Thanks! The M-250A is my altime favorite GE cobrahead. I hope you get one someday. Preferably 100W like the ones that were once used here but I wouldn't be pickey if I came across one.

Heh, for me I don't really mind if it's HPS since I'll probably just swap out the gear to MV. Razz

I'd want to have the origional ballast so I'd prefer MV. Since I was told the older mercs were generally 240V though, I'd likely either install two cords to it or put in a 70W PSMH ballast with a switch for the ignitor similar to what you did in your R47.

Still in service! It's so dim no light reaches the ground though lol.

General Electric M-250A in Lincoln!

This is the other merc that I know of in Lincoln. It's right around the corner from my uncle's house. This one isn't that bright, but it's not super dim either. Kinda in between. Pardon the bad angle, it was the best I could do in a car becuase of the way the light was mounted on the pole.
