Westinghouse OV-15 from Jace! Just got it in the mail today. It was dirty so I cleaned it off. The refractor he sent me busted in half. :c So I put the AE refractor from my 115 on this one for now. I need a new refractor! Preferably glass. xD Keywords: American_Streetlights

It's pretty! Surprised
GullWhiz   [Apr 19, 2011 at 11:11 PM]
You are welcome! No need to sound so demanding on the refractor! Wink
LilCinnamon   [Apr 19, 2011 at 11:21 PM]
How does this look with the AE refractor? xD
Silverliner14B   [Apr 20, 2011 at 12:06 AM]
The same thing happened with my OV15! I later got a replacement glass with the Westy logo.
LilCinnamon   [Apr 20, 2011 at 12:10 AM]
Heh. I never knew that the OV-15's you have to take out screws to take the door off, its not like the other ones.
GullWhiz   [Apr 20, 2011 at 01:05 AM]
You don't need to take screws off....you need to open it in a specifc angle to get the door off....also my OV-15 250 watt had a GE glass refractor.....and later I got a Holophane made refractor with Westinghouse logo, but later I got a Pyrex refractor for Westinghouse which is most likely the OEM refractor for the late 60s OV-15s since I know of a few with those in service! I moved the Holophane Westy one to my OV-15 tudor

Pretty Nice! Cool Looks like the ones in my area that were installed in the early 80s.
LilCinnamon   [Apr 20, 2011 at 06:30 AM]
Thanks! This weekend I am going to restore it to be as good as new, sandblasting it and giving it a new coat of silver metallic paint, making it look as good as new!

Do you have a picture of the busted refractor?
LilCinnamon   [Apr 20, 2011 at 09:25 PM]
I might be able to get one.
lite_lover   [Apr 21, 2011 at 07:57 AM]
Nice fixture, I would like to get one of these to go with my Crouse-Hinds OV-15
LilCinnamon   [Apr 23, 2011 at 10:33 PM]
Yeah, this fixture is nice, I do want to restore it but it will be hard to find a sandblaster. xD

You could always do it oldschool if you have the time and elbow grease. Laughing Go to a body shop. They'd have one. They would probably charge you, but they'll do it for you. That's the best thing I could Come up with.
LilCinnamon   [Apr 23, 2011 at 10:47 PM]
Body shop?
streetlight98   [Apr 23, 2011 at 10:48 PM]
Where they paint the body cars. It's called a body shop. My relative owns one and he painted my OV25 for me.XD
LilCinnamon   [Oct 15, 2011 at 08:51 AM]
At least I have a refractor for this now! It may have small chips in it but it's perfect for this fixture. Fits a little loose but it'll do.
joe_347V   [Oct 15, 2011 at 01:01 PM]
Cool, you found a refractor! Very Happy
GullWhiz   [Oct 15, 2011 at 08:23 PM]
Just be happy with what you got....I've been looking for a LM refractor and a Unidor refractor and some OV-10 and OV-12 refractor clips and a GE glass refractor for a long while...do you see me complaining Rolling Eyes

I also seek AK-10 Westy Cuplight...but am I complaining or asking around more....nah

Be happy!
streetlight98   [Oct 16, 2011 at 08:28 PM]
My OV25 lens fits rather loose. And Jace, I've been away this weekend, so i'll try to get the pic, but it'll take soem time....
