Looking good, glad to see that you finally got a silver M-250R and the Tudor.

Thanks. Smile Yeah this thing is HEAVY! Shocked Especially with the bulkier 120/240V ballast I put in. The TuDor is a great light too but it needs a lot of work. Electrically it's fine which I'm glad. It does need a new terminal block though. If necessary, i can drill out the old terminal lugs and salvage the ceramic part but I'd like to get a new terminal block if I can. The terminal block is identical to what Cooper uses. It also needs new slipfitter bolts since the existng ones rusted so badly that the threads are rotted off and now and every time you turn them they shed a ton of rust powder lol. The slipfitter clamps are good though which is great news since I wouldn't be able to just go buy new ones at the store like I can with the bolts. Since the old bolts have nuts welded onto the end I need my grandpa to use his machine to chop the old bolts off since my bolt cutters wouldn't do it lol. I will also need to replicate one of the refractor door hingeholders so the door closes properly which I don't know if I can do. If I can't, Joe's temporary fix will hold fine for now. I hope to make the TuDor as good as new. I decided not to keep the cap though. There is no info on it at all.

There are some stuck scres that are easy to just drill out. And the corrosion ofthe cast aluminum housing will be plastered up and then I'll repaint the light. I think the TuDors used flat silver, not hammered but all I'd probably be able to find will be hammered silver. We'll see I guess.
