Wow thats an impressive sight just the pictures alone! I can see so many things I would love to have in those pictures alone!
I really do hope it can be saved!
Specific things that I *really* would love to have, are one of those Variable inductor-ballast-chokes and the corresponding lamp chart that goes with them, and a lamp power analyser, I have quite a few lamps that I would love to know the *actual* Power of them, including their power factor, which one cant really measure with just a multi-meter alone, and even with a scope it can be tricky
are there any of those 12Kw-18kw Metal halide lamps and ballasts going spare? I certainly would not mind one of the lamps at least, and one of the ballasts!, that would be lots of fun to fire up outside
