Ouch. 1968 is very old though, you're lucky to have this lamp. $40 would have been to much for me. After all, at the time of the auction, I wasn't getting a 100w fixture so I wouldn't even be able to operate it. I'm very tempted to get a BT-25 Phillips lamp though......
Oddly I have no MV lamps from the 70s, all of my old ones are either from the 60s or 80s.
I have a 100w merc yardlight but I can't run this in it without changing the socket so it sits on my computer centre along with this lamp as decorations.
It was from the same seller that the other here got their clear BT 25 from.
