SOLD - Hoskins Strobes, Including a NEW (OS) Flash Tube

[testwest]

For sale is a lot of Hoskins strobes from a Mooney 201. Of note in this lot is one NEW (old stock) Hoskins flash tube, perfectly clear, perfectly bright. These are impossible to find in unused condition, this was manufactured in 1986 and still has the original box. Also included are two NEW strobe tube clear glass domes ($65 value all by themselves) and the strobe housings, restored and ready for paint. Also there are the old strobe dome covers (they are kinda yellow) and two older strobe flash tubes, they do flash but are not the greatest in appearance. Sold as a lot only. $150 plus shipping. Paypal accepted!

I found out today that my left wing flash tube is faulty. The power supply checked out ok and when the flash tube was inspected found some small pieces of glass that came from the tube. I have hoskins wingtip strobes and found hoskins is out of business. We order a whelen strobe tube assembly from Aircraft Spruce and hope it will be a direct replacement with the exception of reversing two wires in the connector. Have any of you replaced your faulty hoskins flash tube assembly with a whelen tube?

Hi Skybrd

Check with JimR, he might sell you one of the flash tubes in this lot. The Whelen flash tube base is smaller than the Hoskins, so it would "fit", but it would not be a great fit.

I'm interested in keeping the new Hoskins flash tube and the two new glass domes in Norman's lot. The rest, including the two used but functioning flash tubes, I'll be listing on EBay or will be happy to make you a deal on if you are interested.

Let us know how the Whelen tube works out. That is my backup plan as well. Good luck!
