Thanks!

Hosed it all out this morning, including that god-forsaken hive fortress. Found some neat details, anyone know much about the casting numbers?

Also, the light came with a blocked-out section, and looking at it, it's a lens that was painted over on the front. To anyone who owns a set, is this an 8" 3M adapter lens?

Yep! That is one of those 3M lenses. Congratulations on a very cool Marbelite 4-way. Love those in the door reflectors!

If anyone knows, how common were downlights under Marbelite 4-ways? I'd like to hang this light over the workbench and have a downlight installed and wired to a separate dedicated switch next to the workbench so it can be used whether the lights are all on or not.

I've never had my paws on any Marbelite with door-mounted reflectors. The HS suffix is obviously denoting Horni Signal, from which that design originated.

Pretty rare from what I've seen. they were a separate bottom with a Horni Ruleta style reflector and no lens.

Hi AJ,

Looks like you have one of those real interesting projects where you will have to hunt for a few parts. Makes it more exciting and will be very satisfying when you have it completed. :thumbsup:

More so since it may be a fairly rare light. :grin:

Cheers!

very nice find :drool:

Did you get the Kopp 66 lenses with it?

Nah, just the reflectors.

Lenses are easier to find then the reflectors :thumbsup:
