It's a GE! I know where this one is! I actually have some pics...I will upload those! Any chance the car shop was on the right of the pic right?

Those and the cuplights have 400 watt MV....and trust me they have a LOT more than 24,000 hours of life...in matter of fact some of them has lamps that was installed in the 1960s and they still are burning, but dim! Wink

A ballast will fit in an incandescent gumball?

This one wasn't a gumball, it was a teardrop...its an enlarged refractor glass...although some of them in those road had gumballs instead too....they are 400 watt MV.

It's remote ballast....but a 175 watt will fit inside this, its same size as a NEMA head...in fact it IS an NEMA head....

The buckets didn't come out first...the Gumball came before the buckets! The head part was orginally made for gumballs, admiral hats and stuff....but later it became for buckets...

an "NEMA head" does not mean "bucket fixture" it is only the HEAD!

Admiral hat, Quartermoon, Gumballs, Teardrops, and those famous bucket fixture ALL HAVE the NEMA heads!

A teardrop and gumball are exactly the same thing exept for the refractor..... A 175w ballast will fit? What wattage is this one?
GullWhiz   [Sep 10, 2011 at 08:14 PM]
This one I remember they were all 400 watt but some were dimmer because the lamps were VERY OLD!

Trust me it will fit...look at the head...it's head is a NEMA head....

I know a cwa ballast wouldn't fit though. Sad
GullWhiz   [Sep 10, 2011 at 08:19 PM]
You would be surprised......I fit a MH ballast with a cap and ignitor in a NEWER GE NEMA head! and the NEWER GE NEMA heads are actually smaller than those above!

By the way here's my version of this above see right here!

is this a Form 79?

the slipfitter looks like the one on the Form 109.
GullWhiz   [Sep 10, 2011 at 08:26 PM]
I am not exactly sure if its a 79...since this one is a tear drop...I have a similar fixture in my collection but with a newer design slipfitter....but it is a GE Tear Drop for sure!

I know the gumball version is the F79, but i'm not sure about the teardrop version

@GullWhiz, I think there was a car shop on the right... Its gotta be the same one you saw and photographed, since its the only one along N.B. that's got a broken globe like this. Razz
GullWhiz   [Sep 10, 2011 at 08:35 PM]
I know, there is another one near this one that has missing refractor with a dayburning coated lamp....I think I MIGHT have a pic of it...see here

Oh call me Jace....
