Inside of the GE M-250R1 That I'll be Getting
|
This is weird... in the 1977 catalogue i have, the light is called the "M-250R" yet this light has instructions that say "M-250R1" and this light has to be from before the late 70s because it lacks drip holes.

@ NiMo: so the M-250R1 and M-250R2 were made together at one point? so they changed the instructions to R1 when they changed the light to R1 but they left the catalog alone? this light's door has no drip holes so it's pre-80s.
i wonder if anyone here has a copy of the instructions... i told the seller i didn't mind the instructions being torn. it's not like i don't know how to tighten two bolts and make three wire connections and do basic maintenance to it lol.
I find the black rubber gaskets tend to get brittle and crack easily with age. One of the lens gaskets on my CGE 8-8-8 signal cracked into three pieces when I took the lens off so I ended up having to tape it back together. Said gasket got replaced with one I got with a set of lenses.
My Econolite 12-8-8 has the orange gaskets for some reason. They're pretty new looking but I guess it's because the light was made in 1995 whereas my CGE is probably from the 50s or 60s.
