Subject:Old Spotlights.....

Good Afternoon Don,

You can get "old-fashioned" spotlights from Unity Manufacturing
Company.  I am negotiating with one of their vendors now as they still
make the exact light that I need for my 1937 Buick restoration project,
but now it has a sealed beam and I want one with the flanged bulb.
Spotlights have not changed much in 70 years as it turns out.

The vendor can be reached at unityspotlights@aol.com (Less expensive
than ordering direct from Unity) and you can see what's available at
http://www.unityusa.com/.

Best Regards,
