[Gone] GE M-400A Here's a soon to be removed GE M-400A at the Cambridge Service Centre that's going to be closed and demolished in a few days(the 7th actually), so they could build a new one in it's place. Judging from the ones already built, the lights that the new one will use are grey FCO shoeboxes. Interestingly this GE has a external nameplate like the Powerlite lumes but dosen't have a NEMA tag.

Well I doubt it will be demolished right away, they have to clear it out shut off the utility's, nice shots anyway, I am sure going to try to save at least one of each.

ECT?

I see the little extruded line for one, so it must be mercury. The MV ones didn't have tags at first.
joe_347V   [Sep 04, 2011 at 01:31 AM]
I believe most if not all of the lights here were MV.
gailgrove   [Sep 04, 2011 at 01:33 AM]
Well maybe that's all they have to do. They are HPS, I saw them lit at night, they could of been retrofitted.
joe_347V   [Sep 04, 2011 at 01:35 AM]
Hmm I could have sworn I've seen them in MV before.
gailgrove   [Sep 04, 2011 at 01:37 AM]
Maybe they where converted after you saw them...
joe_347V   [Sep 04, 2011 at 01:38 AM]
Yep they might, well the only way to find out is to save one. Razz

This glass looks cracked. Sad Like Niall said, these could have been retrofitted. Then again, this has a latch on the P-door so it may be factory soduim. I know my catalog says only the Lucalox doors came with the latch, but things can change. Most the HPS M-400 split doors and M-400A came with NEMA labels. The mercury GE cobraheads didn't until the late 70's.
joe_347V   [Sep 04, 2011 at 01:42 AM]
Save one and find out. Razz You have four days left to see the centre open. Laughing
streetlight98   [Sep 04, 2011 at 01:45 AM]
I can't drive. Razz I'll get there in four weeks on my bike. Laughing
gailgrove   [Sep 04, 2011 at 01:46 AM]
I will be making some phone calls Tuesday, I think I likely have more than four days before the lights come down. Razz
streetlight98   [Sep 04, 2011 at 01:49 AM]
I start school on Tuesday. I was suposedto start last tuesday but the schools didn'thave power until yester day. Rolling Eyes i don'tthink i have to make them up though because RI declared a state of emergency.
joe_347V   [Sep 04, 2011 at 01:51 AM]
That's true, the Barrie service centre was closed for at least six months before I took that pic of the B2213s.

Oh and these are still up as of Friday.

@Michael you start school in late August? Shocked
streetlight98   [Sep 04, 2011 at 01:54 AM]
Yeah, when do you start? We start the last week of August and end usually the 2nd to last day of school if we don't get any snowdays.
gailgrove   [Sep 04, 2011 at 01:56 AM]
Here it is the first weekday after labour day, which is next Tuesday.
joe_347V   [Sep 04, 2011 at 01:56 AM]
Most schools in Ontario start on the Tuesday after Labour Day, but this might vary by school and school board.

EDIT Niall was faster than me Razz
streetlight98   [Sep 04, 2011 at 01:57 AM]
That's when i happento be starting this year. It used to be that way a longtimeago,but itchanged. Confused
