SOLD *FIVE* Super-Lites, one NOS, and Bulb

[slantsixdan]

I am moving, the new place is much smaller, and I can't keep most of the goodies I've collected over the years. So: holy flaming snotballs, it's a Super-Lite stash sale. $275 gets you four used Super-Lites—three on 1969 brackets and one on a 1970 bracket, and one brand new Super-Lite and 1969 bracket assembly, with a nearly-new bulb.

Pics with and without flash to try to show good glass. Light pitting on some of the used lamps, no cracks or whacks. Obviously they will be repacked in a suitably large box with adequate padding. Shipping from Seattle. Send me a PM.

Where'd I get the bulb? I'm in the vehicle lighting industry and used to have a friend in an R&D lab of one of the German makers of halogen bulbs. An H3 bulb has the correct transverse filament, but the wrong focal length for the Super-Lite. My friend reworked a high-power H3 to have the correct focal length, thus practically matching the original bulb's optical and electrical characteristics just about perfectly, and below is the photometric data to prove it; the NOS lamp with this bulb was put on a photogoniometer and photometered—which is why this bulb is nearly new; it has a whole 8 minutes of runtime on it. (No, I can't get any more bulbs)

To actually go to the lengths to have an unobtainable bulb custom made with test data? Unbelievable.
I salute you.

At a time like this I wish my lifelong fixation were…I donno, birdwatching that only requires notebooks and binoculars, or something like that. But noooooo, it had to be car lights. Bulky, breakable car lights. I am dying a thousand deaths (or so…I stopped counting) at what I cannot keep and have to offload.
