Hmmm.... So first there would be trying to convince the bank that this is a good investment.... and to lend me the money.... then I would need even more money to build a proper garage to put this thing in to protect it... Um... And then there is the issue of the 8500lbs.. my poor lil isuzu would never forgive me....

Best of luck with the sale! hehe

I'd buy it in a heartbeat, except I buy all my lights in pairs... two of each. So, this set is incomplete for me...

I think most museums specializing in that particular era would have more than ample funds to take this off of your hands.

You should get a hold of Mythbusters and use this to make a death ray... heck, they might even buy it off you just for the sake of having such an insane light around the shop.

Anti-aircraft light, huh? Wow... How awesome would that be to shoot down enemy aircraft with your EDC light?

If I COULD EDC that thing, I would.:thinking:

A world class rig from one of the best guys on the forum! Everything that I've ever purchased from BVH was understated. Knowing him, this outfit is even sweeter than described. Purchase this light and be a part of history! Some day a museum will want your light too. ;):)

It has been my childhood dream to own one of those 60" arc lights. I grew up in Las Vegas, NV., and one or more of those was operating somewhere around town or the Strip just about every night.

Wish I had the money. I'd buy it right now!:broke: (I had to make an imitation, just to help satisfy my cravings.):thumbsup:

BVH
And remember, it can actually make you money if you're interested in renting it and yourself out for 3-hour gigs. Out here, it goes for about $375 per gig and I understand from those owners back east, that they get around $400 to $425 per gig. Expendables cost about $70 to $80 per gig, including fuel, rods and your transport vehicle "use" so your profit is about $300 +, or about $100 per hour!

50 gigs would pay back your investment. 16 a year for 3 years or 25 for two years.




Bump for the best light deal on earth!! :drool:
