Yes, I put the first bid on it.
It’s all yours Brother.I’m not going over $75, so if you want it more than that let me know and I’ll back off. Don’t need the light, but I’ll buy if it’s a bargain.

I'm gonna do this from now on, with both beacons AND lightbars!Most non collectors ( and even some collectors) dont have a clue how to safely ship a light.....when I ship a beacon I always remove the dome, wrap the bulbs and internals with bubble wrap just enough so the dome goes back on with slight pressure resting against the bubble wrap. Never had any damage or issues with shipping.
Also, does anyone have any ideas for a stand or base to sit this thing on top of, so that the wire coming out of the bottom doesn't get pinched? I was thinking small rubber feet, but I wanted to see if a better solution than propping it up with two books like I'm doing now exists.

That is a good way to avoid damage to a lens.Most non collectors ( and even some collectors) dont have a clue how to safely ship a light.....when I ship a beacon I always remove the dome, wrap the bulbs and internals with bubble wrap just enough so the dome goes back on with slight pressure resting against the bubble wrap. Never had any damage or issues with shipping. Ive suggested to sellers to do this before shipping to me.....some do, some dont.
You know, that dome you have is in such good condition AND the domes are so difficult to find, you may want to look into getting a cast made of your amber dome and simply reproducing the clear domes yourself. I know I and many other collectors would gladly pay for a reproduction.
While I assume the initial cost would be substantial, that is definitely an interesting option. Out of sheer curiosity, where would one even begin with such an endeavor? How many companies could be willing to dedicate time/tooling to make custom casts and/or molds, and how labor intensive is that process?
