Tripp Light Spotlight, 6v

Picked this up on Facebook. A little rough around the edges but it works!

The black ball handle twists the inner bulb around and tilts it up and down.

Anyone have any literature on this or know more about it?

Wow that's really cool! Reminds me of a 1940s robot eye or something of the like from Orson Wells' mind! Very unique!

It is really cool! When I bought it, I was expecting it to be the more frequently seen rotator style. My jaw dropped when I figured out that it was the spotlight type. This is the first I have seen.

Thanks for sharing! I hadn't found anything yet

There was a warning version that rotated, and the spotlight version.  The rotating ones had a flexshaft drive and had either a colored or a metal top.  I can't find my info on the spotlight one, but here's what I have on the warning one.

After reading the Hemmings article, I wonder if this was maybe specially made for Diamond-T or if they just chose to use it on their designs.

I have some info on the spot version somewhere... still digging.

I’m resurrecting this thread to point out a FleeBay ITEM in case anyone is interested...Two spots and a rotator!

Pretty grossly overpriced, but they are nice pieces. I think that seller would have better luck selling each individually.

@tsquale agreed! Because I linked the listing to my “Watch” category, I was offered a discount if I purchased them. Still too proud….

Ha, ha! Yeah, I get those discount offers as well, but they're usually only enough to maybe cover shipping on an item that you need to take a loan out on to purchase...
