Is a Dietz 211 (mfg 1965) with a red dome that is NOT OEM worth anything? I'm guessing the dome is Federal. Thank you.

At a minimum, it is worth money in parts. If it is in working condition, even with an incorrect dome, it is worth a good bit of money, as in $100 or more. Condition is important and without pictures, no one here is likely going to be able to give you a good idea of its worth.

Sorry, I should have realized that pics are needed. They don't show much, but here are two photos. The light isn't much money, but it's a two hour drive round trip to get.1668432747340.jpeg211_2.jpg

I would almost say the 184 dome is worth MORE than the 211 itself as often recently, when I've seen an actual 184 light advertised, it usually has a Dietz or other non-standard dome on it. Therefore, if each of these lights is $25, I'd probably make the round trip to procure them and sell the 184 dome outright and wait for a Dietz dome to come along (if you intend to keep the beacon). Or, you could try selling it as it to maximize your profit (although the 184 dome would not be original to the beacon). Good luck!

Thank you for your input. I've never had an interest in Grote lights, so I wasn't going to purchase it. Thanks again.
