You're Welcome Max ! Enjoy !  Road trips can be a nice escape from the everyday . 

 @ Sammi : Nice !!! 

I bought 8 NOS 175w GE merc lamps from the late 90s-mid 00s from a restore today. Most of them will be going to another collector friend of mine, however I will be keeping one clear and one DX one for my Unidoor 250. A couple days ago I bought a PC and power cord for that light, it works well however the current lamp in it is pretty well used. Gonna test the lamps I got tonight and clean off all the storage room dust from them.   

Maybe, the light over the mirror and over the desk are a little too dim for my tastes...

Are you going to hook it up as your room light...

A couple days ago now but as Tim said I met up with him over the weekend to buy lamps. He cut me a good deal on a Unidoor 250, 180w SOX lamp, and a few other goodies for a reasonable price. Took me forever to collect on the deal as I had the slight issue of living about 700 miles away, but with me doing college in Indiana it became a reasonable trip. Overall I had a fun time and enjoyed being away from college for the day. The Unidoor is in my dorm room and is waiting to be fitted with a clear mercury lamp I saw but didn't buy at the Plymouth Indiana restore and a power cord.    

Again, this happened yesterday, (perhaps we should change the title of the thread.?)  
I have been in touch with a bloke in Edinburgh, and I'm getting another X246B stormlight for no cost to me at all.!
We'll be collecting it on the way home from our trip south. 

 I'll let him give you all of the details ! 

You managed it then.!
What did he give you.?  

 Not today but yesterday , I met up with member Bulbman . We BS'd , checked out each others cars and he got some lamps and a streetlight from me . (It only took 3 YEARS ! )    It was fun ! I needed to get away for a little bit ! 

 MY dad does that . He also likes to eat Jalapenos right off the vine !!
