This OV-25...
|
This OV-25 was recently taken down for road work and is now laying in the ditch, I noticed the pole had been taken down a few weeks ago and today I went to look at the light (to attempt a "rescue mission"), I was not happy as I approached the light, the first thing I saw was the door, laying a few feet from the pole without the refractor, that was a bad start, I then went to the other side of the pole to see the fixture, or what was left of it I should say! The OV-25 was crushed into about 5 pieces! It looks like they either dropped it from 50 feet along with the mast arm (detached from the pole) or took it down, put it on the ground and set the ton and a half concrete pole on top of it! It is an absolute write-off as a collectible item but I may salvage it this Thursday for the 400 watt HPS ballast and other parts, the ballast I may put in my 250 watt OV-25 with non-working ballast. There was also an OVX (also 400 watts) however it was laying three feet from the road and in a very obvious place, the OV-25 is 10 feet down the ditch and blocked by the temporary concrete barrier so I don't think anyone will see me taking it. I am going to try to get a hold of the contractor and see if I can take the OVX and maybe get the OV-25 that is still up but will be coming down.

If you get one from that yard I will gladly take one though.
