Wanted: 175 Watt Mercury NEMA style or McGraw Edison/Handyman/Yardblaster Lights « on: September 05, 2024, 10:52:08 AM » Author: Mercury Halide
If anyone has removed, or is planning to remove one of these lights in favor of an LED upgrade, I would very much like to retrieve/remove within 100 miles of Glen Burnie, MD any classic style 175 watt Mercury Vapor dusk-to-dawn lights. Can be either the common NEMA style or the more difficult to find McGraw Edison, Handyman, or Yardblaster bucket style lights. Any condition desired: new or used, broken or intact, dirty or clean, dead or alive. Thank you in advance!

(about a 130 mile drive, but we can always meet in the middle),

I can't believe I didn't notice your reply until now; sorry about that. If you still have it, I can drive out as far as Cecil County!

Let me know if you still want it. I made a drive out to Bethesda, MD yesterday (wasn't too bad), but I'd prefer to meet in the middle. I have your email and contact, just haven't been able to get ahold of you.

Absolutely I still want it. You say you drove down to Bethesda, MD? Then you went right past me! I sent you another text meanwhile. My cell number is still the same and won't change anytime soon.
