Yeah I went home with a packed car. I had a blast and enjoyed visiting him again. I showed him my Chicago M-250R1. Now that I have a S54 HPS lamp for it I gota test it out.
Yep it is a Norelco! Glad you had a good time at Joe Maurath's! I'm long overdue for another visit to his place but I've been stuck out West since my last visit to Rhode Island in August 2012.
Ah thanks for verifying it. This works like a champ too. I'm pretty sure it's NOS since the arctube is crystal clear. Yeah I had a blast. The next time you're up in the RI area you're more than welcome to stop by my place, though I don't have a ton of goodies. I take pride in my collection though and love all my lights. IIRC, you have one of those FCO Tudors too don't you? Yeah this one is 150W HPS not 50W and it's going to get a full 100% restoration. Apparently i need a new PC socket too since the old one likes to really clamp down on PCs and not let me take them out.
