I picked up 4 of these recently. 1 was just for parts to fix the other 3. I dropped the globes in a bucket of bleach and water. They are starting to become clear. A media blast and a paint job will make these turn out really nice.
I used to live in Morris, where Northwestern was located. The guy who ran it lived literally 2 doors down from my first home in Morris, but we never met (I never saw him or his wife outside - ever).
