I've managed to scrounge a few spare RED Bargman 52 SAE-P-PI 68 lenses for my Alaskan but I haven't run across any of the Amber (yellow) ones.

 

Any of you other scroungers happen to be interested is trading a couple of the Amber ones for the Red ones I have? There are some missing and a couple mismatched Amber ones on my Alaskan I'd like to get replaced if possible.

 

Yes....I check ebay but these are so old-school that they are usually scratched and cracked.

Would the ones at Vintage Trailer Supply work?

No... they are kinda like some of the ones I want to replace in fact....you how it is, trying to get your Alaskan refreshed, rebuilt or restored means you get a little anal retentive on some things. I have found that steel wool is a great material to remove some of the dirt/crud/oxidation from aluminum sills and from the chrome on the pump, the ice-box handle, the rear door handle and the door safety grip on the rear of the Alaskan so far.

 

I have been looking around and have decided that some used Bargman 52s to match the ones on my rig would look nice ...I think if you have a couple of one kind of lights and two other styles it looks cheesy. I have different amber lights across the front of my Alaskan CO...out of the five it has, one is missing, one is a Bargman 52 and of the other three, two appear to be from one mfger and the other from yet a different mfger.

 

I figured that Alaskan guys would probably be good scroungers of dilapidated campers and try to grab spare parts that they can't readily find for 40 year old plus campers!

 

But...thanks for the heads up though!

I could not use the ones I bought...while they appeared to actually be NOS, they were all cracked.

I found these (https://www.vintaget...-light-vts-214/) at Vintage Trailer Supply for my 1967 8-foot NCO.  They fit perfectly.  Holes lined up and one wire lights which was what was on my trailer.  They had both amber and red...and the were LED!
