FS: WWII Ceiling Light Set AN/TMQ-2

Post by Steve Greenberg » Sun Dec 19, 2010 6:06 pm

Hello,
For Sale: WWII Ceiling Light Set AN/TMQ-2. It is complete with the original manual dated Jan. 1945, AC power supply and hand crank generator set G-5/TMQ-2 and a couple spare light bulbs. The clinometer is missing. It is in like new condition. The light is 24 inches in diameter. This light is used to determine cloud heights up to 10,000 feet. It is rated at 2,500,000 candle power! The last time I fired it up it worked just fine. $2,250 plus shipping. It is very heavy. Located in Portland, Oregon
Thanks,
Steve 8)

Hello, I tried to send an e-mail and it kicked back, and I don't have PM privileges yet. Buddy was given one of these projector lamps and we have been searching for info on how to power it up. Is there any info you can share? Any way to get a copy of the TM? What kind of power does it take: AC...DC...volts etc? We don't have any of the other items that come with the set, just the lamp and would love to see it work...…..

Thanks, Chet

Chet,
It has a hand crank generator that puts out 5.8 volts. (that is the recommended voltage for the bulb) There is a 115 volt AC power supply.
