Title: MTO Truss Arms For Sale! O_o
Post by: joe_347V on August 19, 2013, 12:56:19 AM

Found someone (http://ontario.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-art-collectibles-Old-1960s-Heavy-Steel-Highway-Street-Light-Brackets-for-Sale-W0QQAdIdZ514711806) on Kiijii selling some of the old MTO 6' truss arms. If only I had the space for a pole in my yard.

Truss arm + MV B2255 = 70s MTO lighting  :MV: 8)

Yeah I guess they were extra beefy since they were used to hold 700w and 1kW B2213s originally.

Looks like they've been  re-posted.  (http://ontario.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-auto-parts-tires-auto-body-parts-Old-1960s-Heavy-Steel-Highway-Street-Lights-For-Sale-W0QQAdIdZ516130177) I'm actually pretty tempted... I also found  these  (http://ontario.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-home-renovation-materials-electrical-Two-old-street-lights-W0QQAdIdZ514469631) and  these.  (http://ontario.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-electronics-street-lights-W0QQAdIdZ471260333) I wonder how much they want for all 50 cobras. ;)

Looks like the seller lowered the price for the truss arms, tempting but I don't have a place to put it.

I didn't know someone was selling cobras though, there was also someone in Oshawa or Whitby selling a bunch of M-250A2s too.

Also if someone here wants one of those coach lantern style posttops or the arm mounted one, there's one of each (NOS 70w HPS) at the Brampton Restore. O_o

Did you notice how much it was selling for? My grandmother's place is very close to the Brampton ReStore.

I think something like 175 or so for the arm mounted one but they also have some other HID lights (wallpack, floodlight, yardlight, and some parking garage light) for 25.

Maybe I'll take a trip there tommrow then. I've got $120 in my wallet and I'm not withdrawing anything to get a light.  ;D

Found someone in the Owen Sound area with a 100w HPS R47 and arm (http://ontario.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-home-outdoor-outdoor-lighting-Street-light-W0QQAdIdZ517769927) for sale.

Also found someone with some NEMA heads and misc vintage HID bulbs (http://ontario.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-home-renovation-materials-electrical-2-Outside-lights-plus-13-mercury-sodium-light-bulbs-W0QQAdIdZ517376089) for sale. It's pretty far away though.
