Newest addition: Twin OV-25's. I got a great score today! I found two OV-25's at a scrap yard. I looked for a place that I could sell all the street light parts I had since we had to clean out the garage. So we went to the scrap metal place and sold all the scrap metal we had to give, and I spotted these OV-25's sitting in the garage-place. I asked about it and each one of these was 15 bucks. For all the metal I sold I got 25, so I pretty much bought these two with all those busted streetlight parts I found on the ground! The top one has bullet holes in it, it penetrated the refractor AND the housing. I can't wait to test these babies up. Keywords: American_Streetlights

Nice lights! I know of a parkinglot here with about 20 of these! Do you know where they may of come from before?
LilCinnamon   [Jan 23, 2012 at 09:42 PM]
Nope, I can only guess they were from a parking lot, I am not sure why the other one had bullet holes in the top, I have that in the garage now.

I am willing to trade the other OV-25 for another light I really want, I dunno who would take it and what they would give me though.

Nice lights, there's still a lot of OV 25s left here but they're all HPS.

I saved these two lights from almost turning into other streetlights or other kinds of metal. I am glad I got there the time I did. xD

I turned junk busted streetlight parts into two good streetlights. xD

I just need to restore the one I have and make it look as good as new.

Nice finds here!

These were dirty when I got them, the bottom one has a wasp nest and the other one had a dead moth.

I REALLY wonder where these were in service, I could guess it could of came from anywhere. At the scrap yard, these were in a pile of wallpacks without the doors, wallpacks like MY wallpack. A bunch of doorless wallpacks and high-bay (like mine that is in the garage) Without the refractors, then these two OV-25's in the pile.

I am glad I found these, I guess the Wallpack and High-Bay I found in the restore came from the same place as all the stuff in that pile, and a few got sent off to the Re-store. Hmmm.

How bad are the holes in the Fixture? Might be fixable with a little work.

As big as the diameter of a bullet. About half an inch. Or a bit less...

It probably will with some epoxy or something.
