Vintage Preheaters 
Found 4 of these vintage 4x F20 preheaters at a antique shop. They appear to be still preheat as some of the starters are still in place but none came with lamps. I'm not sure if these used 4 choke ballasts or two tulamp ballasts. I didn't get them though as they wanted $75 each for one.

Nice! But yeah $75 is a little steep IMO... If they came with daylight Madza lamps maybe... lol Laughing

If it came with Mazda lamps, I think I would have grabbed at least one on the spot. Shocked

Wow cool sight! I third that I would too if they had Mazda lamps

I think most people would probably pay 75 bucks jsut for the lamps lol. I'd have to pass up the lamps though if they were that expensive. Something like a NOS mazda lamp should be preserved but i don't want to spend 75 bucks on a lamp that's only for show lol.

Yeah the lamps are probably worth $75 or more to some fluorescen collectors, maybe even just the fixtures.
