Saw a similar topic on LG and I'd thought I'd make one here. Anyway what were your top finds from last year.
Mine were:
Local:
Powerlite Gumball
Case of 400w Vintage mercs
Hitachi 20w "Yorkville" CFL
39w CMH PAR track lights
75w Sylvania merc
Online/eBay:
8" green arrow lenses

Hmm. well my top thing i got this year wasn't really a find. It was my M-250A. I already knew it (or at least a M-250A) was at Joe's when he said he'd set one aside for me. LOL. That and the ReStore itself were probably my two best scores of 2012! My first score will hopefully be the 4 lamp troffer/surface mounted light that i haven't shut up about for the past few days lol.
My last great addition was the group of stuff i got from my grandpa's shop including a single lamp preheat wall-mount fixture (or an early form of strip light if you see it that way) an NOS Westie F40CW lamp (which needs to be dated), an NOS Universal ballast, and 24 FS-40 starters (all work but one) I opened up the faulty one to find it has a silvery glowbottle. does that mean it was used? If so, I guess the starters aren't NOS afterall... I has assumed they were since they were all together and in what appears to be the original box. They're all the same exact brand and model too... anyways, i'll post a pic of the dead starter...

None really in 2012, except for the second M400R2, but the great find for 2013 for me was the M1000 refractors I bought.
