    Thanks for the bump KZ. I now have that in my memory and will be looking out for them as well. Congrats on a great find, Mike.

    That sounds like a great score KZ! I bought 48 complete units at a police auction awhile back for $170 and turned the lot for right around $800 and I still have all the R400 bulbs that I have no way of testing but are worth around $20 each. Prices are higher now than when I did mine so you will make out well.

    Was finally able to pick the lights up today and they threw in a bunch more so I ended up with well over 40. Had to make 4 trips because of the size of the globes but they had everything stacked in a loading dock so I just had to back in and load. Last load was a pallet of the transformers that a fork lift dropped in the back. I hope to do business with these guys again.

    what out for the capacitors in those ballast might have a charge still. and i agree with the person who said something about the hydro shop. most will buy the ballasts for parts no problem. nice score man.

    Have you came across aluminum wound transformers yet most manufacturers switched to aluminum starting in 2006?
