*WANTED* one NOS Tung-Sol 6012 Sealed Beam
« on: November 29, 2022, 07:50:51 AM »
As the title states,  *WANTED* one NOS Tung-Sol 6012 Sealed Beam

Presently, I have one NOS TS  (no logo) that I'd like to pair up with a second one and add the logo onto them.

If someone is in need of USED ORIGINALS, I have 2 good used ones at this time, one with a "J6" date code (this one has the Ford script logo) and another one that doesn't appear to have the logo, with an illegible date stamp. Both of these are Tung-Sol.

NOTE: Without a second NOS bulb being acquired, the used ones are NOT available for sale.

Are you looking for a bulb with the FoMoCo logo in the center?  Frosted or molded into the glass?

Not necessarily...we have the technology to etch the logo onto an otherwise correct bulb. I believe it was GE *It was Westinghouse that molded the logo into the glass (not Tung-Sol).

Again, I have ONE NOS Tung-Sol without the logo and trying to pair it up with a 2nd one.
*edited correction to Westinghouse,  I knew it wasn't Tung-Sol

The only molded glass versions back in the day were Westinghouse not Tun Sol. TungSol marked the bulbs for Ford by etching the glass.

No. I am not building a Thoroughbred,  as long as the visible side of the sealed beam matches the new appearance of the other new one I have, that is enough. As stated, I do have the two USED ones but they are used ones. I have considered polishing the glass on the one without the logo but I'm not convinced that it would match to look "as new" as the new one looks.
