WTB classification lense

Post by Mjordan »

I’m looking for a set of engine classification lamp lenses. I have no idea what make these are but I think they are 1.5” scale. Looks like Pyle style lamps. Any info where I can find lenses would be great.

I’ve seen a couple places that sell the whole lamp but all I need is the lenses!!

I have a bag full of lenses. If mine are the right size you are welcome to a few. What size do you need?

If you can't find what you need from live steam sources, years ago someone posted here that there is a GE push button lens the end of which can be cut off and used. The lens has circular grooves in its backside similar to the Fresnel lenses that were used in the lamps. The part number is CR104PXL07. Then add to that number a letter for the color, y, r, g, etc.

Here are a couple of links:
