[Boatanchors] types 81 & 1129 lamps.

[Ken Kaplan]

Hi Ken & gang,

I'm the "gentleman" who created the mentioned website. Boy do I wish I had some 81's & 
1129's for sale at that price! Actually I don't because I'd be stuck with them <g>. I just added 
a footnote on the page giving a brief definition of Mean Spherical CandlePower which is 
simply the average candlepower in all directions.  

I'm sorry for the lack of clarity. When I learn of any, I'll fix it pronto. Ron is correct. I don't sell 
anything (although my wife thinks I should). I'm more of an acquirer <g>.  

I hope the lamp info is useful.
