This page showcases the 135W version of the GR100; the GR150. This GR150 came from another collector (AgentHalogen_87) and is in remarkable condition. It is rare to find one of these with an intact bowl to this degree, and there is virtually no damage to the lantern despite it having over 47 years of service under its belt.
On top is a NEMA socket, which interestingly, is mounted the wrong way round (north pointing towards the spigot)
The Zodion SS6 cell is dated to February of 2017 - 40 years younger than the lantern itself.
Opening the lantern is done via two clips, and despite being a bit stiff, the bowl-ring is intact, This is another view of the impeccable bowl.
There is no gear within the GR150, so the layout inside just consists of a lamp-support, lamp-holder, cell socket and their respective wiring.
Both a "7B" date-stamp (pointing to February of 1977) and the lantern's ID sticker are present inside. It is very rare to find one of these with an intact date-stamp, so great care was taken when cleaning it as-to-not destroy its stamp.
