I have been collecting/restoring for about 4 years now, and up til now only have gotten one Beacon Ray Model 17 thats still in pieces (was a freebie that needed work).
I finally took the plunge and got a fairly good deal on this Beacon Ray 173, small diameter dome. I did not care too much on the dome condition, though it was decent, I had a NOS one to put on it anyway.
I got it in the mail yesterday and opened it up after work this morning. In about 25 minits and a light polishing and new dome I had near mint 173. There no dings, dents, corrosion on the skirt and the inside is immaculate as new. The new dome makes it. It spins quiet and without any hesitation. Simply perfect, needless to say I am very happy with this find.
Lastly, can anyone decipher, if there is a way, what might be the mfg date of this light?
