Title: eBay Finds of the Week!
Post by: joe_347V on February 22, 2013, 11:09:57 PM
Well here's some stuff on eBay that you guys might be interested in:

Need a 175w merc lamp? Well here's some nice older and possibly vintage ones to stick in that lovely cobrahead of yours:

175w Westy (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Westinghouse-175-Watt-Lifeguard-Mercury-Lamp-/181063788733?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a283e28bd)
175w Sylvania (http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Sylvania-Mercury-175R-H39KC-175-DX-Lamp-/130855727966?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e779bf35e#shId)
Both are /DX full coaters.

Need a ballast? Here's (http://www.ebay.com/itm/175-WATT-MERCURY-VAPOR-REPLACEMENT-BALLAST-KIT-MULTI-TAP-120-THRU-277-VOLTS-/251233614528?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a7eb0bac0) one with a starting bid of $20 (no bids as of posting) and also has free shipping to the US.

Some other interesting stuff:

LM Gumball (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-HANDSOME-Old-Holophane-Glass-Lens-Incandescent-Traffic-Street-Light-/300865072563?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item460cf4adb3) Well it's technically a gumball but the refractor looks more like a lowbay refractor. A bit on the high side though.

OV-400 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Westinghouse-OV400-Mercury-Vapor-Streetlight-/150992311530?pt=Architectural_Garden&hash=item2327d7d4ea) The rare OV-400 appears, missing the refractor though and a bit on the high side. Oddly it has a HX ballast which is rare to see in lights above 250w. Also it looks like the date code is "LG".

These (http://www.ebay.com/itm/GE-ROADWAY-LIGHT-COBERA-HEAD-USED-CONDITION-COBRA-NO-BALLAST-/360437025337?pt=US_Chandeliers_and_Ceiling_Fixtures&hash=item53ebb88a39) empty cobraheads have also been on for a while.

I think the OV-400 is from November 1973. They're rare? I better work like hell to get a couple from Rocky Point Park then since there's about a dozen of them there! The Sylvania lamp is what I'd go for if i were to get anything. I still have to get the cap for my westie HPS ballast though.

Ahh, well I've yet to see a OV-400 so I guess they are pretty rare for me. Anyway If I had to get anything from there I would get the 175w Sylvania too, it even has reasonable shipping to Canada.

There is one near me, except in the newer style form (AKA the L-150 with 400 watt MV ballast)
