My NOS GE M-250A with 4-Way Optics

Very nice NOS GE M-250A with rare 4-way optics, designed for 4-way intersections. The profile of the glass is similar to that of the shallow style glass they had used over the years, but more rounded.

Wow nice fixture mike! Shocked Did it come with that GE Polyvolt PC?

Thanks! Got this from Joe Maurath Jr. Nope, didn't come with a lamp or PC but I had the NOS GE PC already (from 1979) so I couldn't put any other PC in this. Cool

Unfortunately this is 240V (with a 120v PC) so I can't easily light this. I might do the dryer outlet thing like I did with the OV-15 and ITT 13 but I don't have a dryer cord so what I did was remove the dryer outlet and just connect a plug-less extension cord to the 240V feed with wirenuts and then connect the other end of the cord to the terminal block. I could just go buy a dryer cord but I don't power up 240V lights often enough to justify it lol. Those big 30a 240V cords aren't as cheap as the 15A 120V ones lol. Big thick 10 gauge stranded leads. Shocked

Yeah the dryer cords aren't cheap, you might be able to find an old dryer and harvest the cord. Sometimes thrift stores might have them for a good price.

Thanks! My 1967 M-250A is just as shiny but that's because I restored it. I was FILTHY when I got it lol. 40+ years of hard service. Smile
