I actually got it working, cleaned everything up and adjusted it. Then, when I was reassembling the reflector and glass lense, I fumbled the glass & broke it. I'd have a nasty hole to fill in the window post if I eliminated the light, eh? Does anyone have one of these lenses laying around by any chance? The company that made the thing is Casco, of Bridgeport CT.

Believe it or not they still use a simular style that you should be able to adapt.

I'm checking for 6 volt spotlights on Ebay right now. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 975 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 975 | I wonder if anyone would sell a 6V bulb? That way you could buy a semi-modern Unity and drop in the 6V bulb.
The new ones all have black plastic heads. They work nice...but..No Chrome... | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 157 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 157 | Originally posted by 46 in progress:

The new ones all have black plastic heads. They work nice...but..No Chrome... I dunno. I have a question in to an Ebayer about that right now. There's a lot of"antique" Unity spotlights listed, but no one sez anything about voltage. It would take some serious cobbling to convert the Perfection light that I have now to anything else, the bulb socket is single wire in the center with a connection that allows it to pivot and still make connection. Ground is common thru the truck cab. Works good though. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 1,571 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 1,571 | Unity still sells the parts for all of those, including 6v bulbs. unityusa.com | | |
