Budweiser Beer Light

Bought this from the guy with the eclectic collection in the upstairs space over the resplendent Antiques Brokers - as unworking for $35.  Hope was that ballast and starter were good and that all that would be needed was a fresh bulb.

A trip to Home Depot for supplies for this (and the Seeburg) and we were pretty quickly back in business!

Here is a shot before firing it up.  Note the horrendous mess down in that end of the Lab....I'm working on it.

And here is success! (Yes, I'm using my Seeburg treasure as a pedestal to shoot this.)

Overall there looks like some minor deterioration of the paint in some opaque regions.  Nothing more than appropriate for the presumed age.    There are mounting holes on the back as well as chain slots for ceiling mounting.  I think it will go up on the Rumpus Room wall.  A great score.
