Architectural Lighting Equipment

UPDATE
  The lighting equipment you see here is being broken down into parts. Some of the instruments have been used for other purposes, so the equipment is no longer available as a package.
   If you have interest in some of this lighting equipment, then contact me at;

   I also have other surplus lighting supplies, fixtures by Progressive. I would like to sell a pallet full of surplus lighting equipment that I don't need and is taking up floor space. AG

ARCHIVE

I acquired the lighting equipment that was used to illuminate the outside of The Bryn Athyn Cathedral during the June 19th celebration of New Church Day. The cathedral was illuminated onc e a year for this special event. Things changed when Bryn Athyn Cathedral became recognized as part of a National Historic Site.

    Now that the Cathedral has become a nationally recognized there has been a great increase in visitor and along with that the occasions for illuminating the outside of the building have increased. So a permanent lighting system was installed, which no longer involves set-up and take-down.

   So, to as a service to the church, I bought the equipment and made a deal to split the proceeds of a sale with the church. After inventorying what was there, we are offering it to other facilities or organizations which may also have a occasion to illuminate the outside of a special building, for festivals or special events. This custom designed lighting equipment was quite effective in lighting the Bryn Athyn Cathedral.

   Although I do not have the photographs of the illuminations available to me as I write this post (I neglected to save them as a JPG), I will update it later when I do. If you need to talk to me about this equipment send me an email at:


   Once we make contact via email, then we can talk on the phone. You can also reach me using Facebook or LinkedIn.









An Upcoming Purge

  I have not used this blog very much, but I think I will start posting more "Stuff for Sale", since I have too much stuff I do use and will never be able to use. I've started the habit of having two categories in a post; UPDATE & ARCHIVE. So the title covers the main subject and the Update does just that. Archive covers all the older stuff in the Post. Look for that to be the method of keeping the blog functional and current. AG

1985 Dodge Ram 4wd

I have a 1985 Dodge Ram that I am parting out. I expect to keep the chassis and running gear and restore the frame for use with an older Dodge truck, but I am loosing the cab and bed. If I sell the bed before I convert it to a trailer then that's fine, but I do intend on cutting the bed up to turn it into a dump trailer. I will sell the restored frame for the right price, or I will trade the entire truck for a Corvair truck, but I will not sell the frame unrestored unless the price is right. AG

Corvair Parts

10/15/21

   I'm working on setting up my engine rebuilding bench, mainly because I need a few engines for my own use. But since I have fortune engine laying around, I expect that I will be doing a few of those engines over again, just to get good running engines on the shelf. I expect to be crating the disassembled components into single engine batches. I have both 164 and 145 CI engines. I have a number of FC engines, but I want to make sure I have four of them for my own use. I am always looking for some degree of parts, but I really need to be reducing my inventory rather than increasing it, since I am 67 yrs old.  If you are looking for an engine, check here from time to time and I will post what I have for sale. As it stands now, I have an 80 hp engine that came out of a VW and presumably has a reverse cam. That engine currently is assembled, but does not turn over. I want $500 for it, pickup at my shop only, I won't ship it, but I may deliver for $2/mile it if it's not too far.

   I have begun to review the status of my Corvair supplies, because the work on "The Gnomes of New Hope" has progressed that I feel ok about spending energy on rebuilding the Corvairs again. I had stopped working on Corvairs because it was getting in the way of the creative work I was doing in the theatre. Now that the Storybooks are very close to being finished, working on mechanical stuff again will not interfere with finishing the work. So I am setting up to concentrate on engine work. I will be setting up a page for the Corvairs, so look for a link to that page appearing on the IMS Virtual Studio page. I have been "doing" Corvairs since 1970. AG


Here's an image, just to make it interesting. I've posted a Corvair engine that is set up to mount to a VW transaxle. It's on Facebook Marketplace. $500 for that engine, with a second engine thrown in for another $100. That is a limited time offer, as I may choose to keep the engines and rebuild them. AG

ARCHIVE

I have a collection of Corvair Parts which have been part of my maintenance supplies. I'm reducing my parts down to only one extra powertrain for each of my two Corvairs. I have a 1966 Convertable and a 1961 FC Rampside. I am looking for some parts too, so I will be posting a list here of parts for sale and parts I'm seeking. I would be interested in selling the parts as a lot, but not until I assure that the parts are inventoried to assure that I keep what I need for my vehicles. I know I have about thirteen engines, most of which are disassembled. I also know I have a set of 180 turbo heads, an 80 hp set up for VW, about four truck blocks a late model power top frame (complete but disassembled) I may refinish the top frame and make that available. I'll post photos her later. AG

International 302 Engine for sale

UPDATE Nov 2019

 I've just installed a new transmission in this truck, so for the time being the engine is not for sale. I will be looking for a 392 to replace it, so it is available, but not until I find and rebuild another engine.

I do, however, have a T-34 transmission with drive shafts and shifters, which I will sell (since I'm not going to use it) I want $1,500 for all of it. I'll post photos later. I also have an Eaton Rear Axle, I'll look into that later.

Also, I'm looking for other components for the CO1600; 4WD components to convert my truck, Auxullary Transmission, and a two speed Rear Axle. My existing rear axle has 666 ratio. Possibly I can replace the gear cluster and keep the housing.

 ARCHIVE
International 302ci engine. Uncertian of the exact year, but I will post the serial number when I can Currently in my 1962 CO1600. The top and bottom ends have been resealed. Rebuilt Carburetor. The engine runs quite well and has a lot of torque. It just does not have enough power for a 24K lb truck, so I'm swapping it out for a more powerful engine. This would work great in a Scout, a Travel-all, or a pickup. I'll post more as I get it.


Will swap this engine for a 392ci engine, a straight six diesel, or a A250 International Automatic Transmission + the necessary torque converter. Price - $500.

You pick it up, or pay in advance for the freight and packing, or I will deliver up up to 100 miles for a deposit of $3/mile. Sorry but I need to be paid in advance.

 Located outside of Philadelphia.
