To update hte group: I'm going to take james' advice. I've found a company willing to donate a bulb, and will take your advice on the fluorescent ballast. I'm...
Oops, that was a hastily written message with some obvious errors, and needs a bit of clarification. James advised that I use a ballast made to run four F32T8...
When I was playing with SOX/LPS in the late 70s and early 80s, the bulbs were not easy to find and the sockets were impossible since SOX never really caught on...
Dear gD, ... I don't think there is such a thing as a SOX starter. I expect the ballast alone to make the SOX work. - Don Klipstein (don@...)...

SOX needs no starter at all. They start on the open circuit voltage of the ballast, plain and simple. Give it a go on the F32 ballast. I have matching...
... There is, I have a couple of them. They're used in places where the line voltage is 240V to run the small 18 and 35W SOX lamps using a simple choke...
I finally got my all-time fave, the OV-20. It had been removed from the parking lot of a local car wash when they changed the signage about amonth ago. The...

Hi Sean, That's great news! What city are you in? I'm in Houston, and was able to get an OV-20 from the electric company here several years ago, along with a...
Hi Marvin, I'm in Chicago. I guess my next acquisition target will be either a Form 400 or an Ovalite. Still quite a few form 109s attached to older buildings...

Hi Sean, That's great that you were able to get an OV20. Those were really popular here in Houston back in the 50's and 60's. Marvin ... From: sean edwards To:...
