Score!!

[R'Addiction]

I scored 6 lights for the garage today. $100.00 for the set, They are getting rewired and longer posts to hang from the ceiling above the workbenches and up the stairs to the "Cave".

You ****!

Yea...I know!! Just last night I was looking at a similar light from one of the big box stores for around $45.00 each. They need a little cleaning up and some paint removed from the swivels. The one in the picture was cleaned with some greased lightening and spray wax. I'm leaving the deflector as they are after I clean them up.

Those look sweet, and what a deal too. Great find!

 

[R'Addiction]

Thanks. Can't wait for tomorrow to get these cleaned up and rewired!

 

[R'Addiction]

The other 5 were delivered today. Took one apart and cleaned all the paint off the aluminum pieces with a wire wheel.

Those cleaned up nice, nice find!

 

[R'Addiction]

Thanks Sparky. They fell into my lap! I will post a picture when I get them back together and lit.

Those are really cool. I found a couple of cobalt blue porcelain shades. Got them dirt cheap. Then spent months looking for a fixture that they would fit on. Then had to kind of cobble them together to look right. You lucked out getting them complete. Many times all you find is a shade.

Those are going to look great, nice score.

Running the wiring for these next week. A couple of them are a little rough but I think I can make them "resto useable".

Hey Rowland, fancy meeting you here.

 

[R'Addiction]

[R'Addiction]

Got one rewired and back together. Turned out ok.

 

[DKerns]

Nice Score!! Now get moving, you've got 5 more to do!!

 

[Falcon67]

I found an original 14" complete for $60 total and that was a deal. You got an extra sweet deal.

Nice Score!! Now get moving, you've got 5 more to do!!

I may take tomorrow off, that ought to give me time to get them done. I took another apart tonight and the paint is a little beat up I may just sand down the inside and repaint. Taking all the hardware to the wire wheel.

Are you sure it's paint? Most of those were porcelain enamel not paint.

 

[R'Addiction]

Exactly.......you are correct sir! I think I may just clean them up the best I can and put a shine on 'em. The hardware cleans up real nice on a fine wire wheel.

 

[mdkingsley]

Nice, Those look great.

Put the worse 2 in the stairway to the cave.
