175W MV McGraw-Edison NEMA Head Sans bucket. I have spare reflectors but not any extra bucket diffusers. Doesn't matter though since this doesn't work. :-( the photocell clicks, suggesting the fixture has power, but lamp doesn't light, but when I unplug it, the electrode closer to the base flashes. With an incandescent lamp, nothing happens. Maybe there's a bad connection or loose wire. This supposedly worked when it was removed and is in decent shape aside from rusty slipfitter bolts and ballast core. Keywords: American_Streetlights

Awesome Smile Hopefully you can get it to work. This would be cool to use on your property.

Hopefully... Yeah it's a nice NEMA. Not a big NEMA fan though, since they're glarebombs but yeah, this one would look nice.

OK well, turns out a ballast winding wire broke where it was crimped onto a spade connector. It's the spade connector for the wire that goes to the socket. So I need to somehow fix that. I'm thinking that I will omit the slip-on connectors and just solder the socket wire to the broken ballast wire. The ballast windings are aluminum though. I think aluminum is tricky to solder...
