I decided that today would be the day to figure out my light source. Headed out the door to go look for a nice sodium-vapor street light, but took the phone book and thought I'd call around to the printers in town to see if anyone had anything for sale.
Found the first one on the first phone call I made at the first print shop listed in the phone book. Saw a very clean NuArc 26-1K sitting in the back bathroom just grinning at me. I was so excited to have found what I was looking for I could hardly contain my enthusiasm. His price? $400. I went to the bank to get the cash, and on my way made some more phone calls.
Found another guy who said he had a table top unit and that I ought to come see it. He had an identical 26-1K for sale also. Price? $300! I didn't want to press my luck, so I snagged it up. The seller said he had another photographer who had spoken for it, but never had come to pick it up...so, it's now mine!!!
Just had to celebrate with those who would understand how excited I am for this! Hehe!
