Home-Vue Preheat Fluorescent Light
I meant to post about this light long ago, as I've actually had it for a while now... :-P

Anyway, it's a 1977 'Home-Vue' preheater. I pulled it from the trash in the summer of 2014. When I first plugged it in, it worked, though I got mildly zapped by it...then it occurred to me that it had rained the night before and this thing was full of water... :-P  I dried it out and rewired/properly grounded it just to be safe. Works like new now!!

It also came with the super ancient Sylvania tubes you see in the pic. I posted about those in the 'Lamps' category!

Is the ballast a single 2-lamp unit or two single-lamp units?
