Driving / spot light 1934

For now, I lumped all the pre-war cars together, I would LOVE for there to be enough demand to split it into groups (hint...hint, post here about your pre-war Singer)

I haven't seen anything from Gregory's inventory, so I can't speak for their quality or the condition of their goods.

Does anyone on the Forum have experience with their products? Lights? Electrical bits, etc?

They have a wide variety of interesting items that could well be of use in Singer restoration.

Thanks for posting the link here, DanishPastryBoy!

and thanks to anyone who has dealt with them for sharing their experience, and how they compare to other vendors.

Very Best,

David

Hey Fellow Pre-Warriors...

Gregorys sell very nice quality stock, albeit at a price. I have met the owner a few times at Beaulieu and seen his wares, even purchased a few things like his excellent headlamp stone guards.

Vintage Headlamp Restorations sell a very nice repro FT37, again at a price:

I have seen these also and they are very nice.

Genius of the Lamp also sell restored units. eBay is a good source also.

Chrome finish was standard for the unit used on Singers, either as standard equipment, or as an option on some models. The switch was a surface mount style with a toggle lever at the bottom that filpped on or off sideways. Not ure of the Lucas number off the top of my head, but it is NOT a push-pull switch.

Hope that helps!
