Great photos!
@chrisaldrich Ooooh. Any photos?
I’ve posted some photos today at https://boffosocko.com/2025/11/05/dazor-work-lamp-c-1940/
I had the ballast replaced to work with modern LED replacement bulbs and the switch upgraded to be able to control each of the two bulbs independently. I also cleaned of decades of grime and polished it up a bit.
Thrift purchase for $24.98 from Goodwill on 2025-10-02.
