After thinking about it, I think I will be donating another lamp next year. It is the least I can do to give back to this club that gave SO much to me this year at Clinton. WOW, I have now become an international seller!! One of my lamps will be going to Sydney, Australia! I am getting my first lamp ready to ship out. I should be dropping it off at UPS by the end of the week! Your lamps are up next next Niall, both of them.

While I was at the shop, I managed to pick up some more spark plug wires. You now have a choice of Red, Blue, or standard braided Silver wires.

I am thinking that I "should" be able to keep the price point right about the same as the O-200 lamps.
Would any of you 150/150 guys and gals interested?

The first lamps will now be going out on UPS on Monday.

Therefore, it's four thumbs up.
I'll post a picture soon, it's gorgeous.
Now, I'll ask for help from my fellow Club members - I need to find the perfect lampshade for it. It has to be appropriate for the height - about 18 inches to the top of the socket - and have an aviation theme.
This lamp is delightful.
Just thinking about two years ago when the engine was overhauled in the airplane I share with two other guys. It came back looking great, all nicely painted and so forth. The cylinder lamp looks even better.
James did a great job.
James, thank you again for the quality of your work and the care you put into packaging it for shipping.
