Hi Django,

Is it the same as an A-4 map light ?

Do you have a PN ?

I may have some A-4 lights coming in soon

I've got several map lights here, Chad. Just because I'm lazy, do you have a picture of the one you need?

Stumbled across these cockpit pics of a Wild Weasel F-4G

5th pic shows the cockpit lamp with some detail.

Chad, I know I have one or two or more, like the one in the E-bay link above. I may have a couple like in the F-4 Phantom cockpit link shown. Lemme take a look today and see what I can come up with. I'll zap you an e-mail with the results.

I think it's this one.

http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/A ... 20knee.jpg

There is a guy that restored a '60s showcar on the cover of Rod and Custom this month. The guy that built it brought home the light and put it in the car. The article says they haven't been able to find one. I'm thinking, how hard can that be? Obviously they don't know about WIX! 8) :lol:

Chad, I've got a box of those dang lights here somewhere. I know this, because I set them aside to put in my '39 Ford. The problem is, I can't find the dad-gum things now. :x However, if you're needing the light for one of your projects, I will happily send you one as soon as I find it.
