Yeah the reflector is totally flawless on the inside. Perfect. It's shinier than the one in my NOS M-400 split door . The outside has some dirt buildup that wouldn't come off but that's expected after 50 years. This served faithfull from probably 1964 to 1992 or 94 so about 30 years or service.
if it wasn't for the HPS changeout, all these mercs wouldn't have ben saved. Though I'm sure more were scrapped than saved but thse lights will live forever within our hobby.
Shiny reflector indeed, I think it's almost as shiny as the glass units used in my older signals. I think my Powerlite B2255 has the shinest reflector out of all my cobras.
Yeah this thing is literally a mirror. Not a prefect reflection but I can see a distorted version of myself and see features like my eye color and the light freckles around my nose in the reflector so it's a pretty good mirror.
