I was very blessed today...

[TiredIronGRB]

I went to see a guy about some video equipment today and in the lobby of his business stood this Chrondek Light Stand (Christmas tree), I asked if it was for sale and he acted like he thought it was funny that anyone would want it. Long story short, it's now standing in my living room. It doesn't look like it's ever been left outside overnight.

Does anyone have an idea what this thing is worth?

[Old Iron]

Nice score TI

That is cool. Does anything happen when you plug it in? Awesome shop item. A guy could set it up with a couple timers and photo eyes and have it cycle through as if your at the races.

 

[TiredIronGRB]

When you plug it up the bottom (Red Light) lights come on...it appears to be from the late sixties and pretty rare especially in this condition.

Oh man. How cool is that? VERY good score! I don't have a clue what it's worth but it sure is a neat piece.

Very, very cool find. If you ever get into drag racing you can practice your reaction time right at home.

How many people can say they own one of these?

Hey TI....since you appear to have the only one in captivity, you get to determine what it's worth! LOL Really super cool!

 

[CR55]

What a great score!

 

[Sam_Fear]

That might be fun at intersections....

I'm thinking it's worth a lot in the right crowd. Crazy amounts. How much is a new one? Where do you even get one?!

I've been into Drag racing for years and found out today that the tree came from Bristol International Dragway and was in used until the mid 70s...I have watched it in action as a kid and now it's sitting in my living room, how crazy is that?

I posted it on the HAMB and they went crazy over it, I've had several good offers on it so I probably won't be able to keep it.

 

[Gastrick]

Probably your Bristol tree in action....

Call a local sign maker and they should be able to find you a sequencer.
