I might take a chance towards the end if the price stays low, but I'm not spending a fortune on it, already done that recently  The ballast inside is the proper ballast from what I did understand when I inspected my fitting.

In my fitting the lamp did work except it had loose endcaps. If the ballast does not work, you could replace it with a 50w SON ballast without the superimposed ignitor or semiparallel ignitor.

I am hoping that a collector will win this fitting since the listing does not say that it uses SLI/H lamps even though it really does. I imagine if someone outside lighting gallery were to win this fitting, the rare lamp and control gear would be tossed and the fitting would likely get converted to LED.

If someone did want to restore this, to get new glass you could carefully record the dimensions. of the missing glass on the fixture and get a custom glass company to make it for you.

Looks like the bids have stayed very low so far. I would hope that that if Ria does not win this lantern that someone else on LG can win it.
