Nostalgia & History > Adlake 1158 Class/Marker Lamp

Good day all,

I've recently begun the repair/refinishing of a pair of Adlake 1158 lamps and am trying to find the correct internal parts (switch and bulb socket/holder) and the correct power connector. Does anyone have or know where I can find these parts? I'll probably call Adlake at some point to see if they still make them, they're just a tad expensive though. I've attached a picture of the lamps I'm working on.

Thanks in advance,
Jon

I would guess there are no on-off switches as that should be controlled in the cab.
An industrial socket should suffice.

Any other ideas?

One of the lamps did have a pull-on, push-off power switch that would be manipulated from the under side of the lamp. As to the originality of it, I don't know. The other just had a desk/table lamp bulb socket installed. I'm trying to restore the lamps as close to "as delivered" condition as possible. Maybe to someday be hung on a locomotive somewhere.

I love those! As a kid, they reminded me of deep-sea divers helmets...

Checked them out, no luck, at least on line. I'm traveling now, may just get hold of some phenalic block when I get home and machine some to match.
