I have been watching for one of these, and I think this might be a good buy. http://www.ebay.com/itm/35164475090...RK:MEBIDX:ITI bought one of these yesterday. I thought I would let others know there are three more available. The Mega Red Book list these at $78. This is a set I don't see very often. I wanted to get one before Commems makes a awesome post about it  |

Tesla is. Very cool .... I don't think he gets the credit he deserves. But this is for the 150th of the light bulb invention .... Before that people were in the dark a lot |

Cool! Thanks for the heads up. I don't recall seeing this back in '04 but really only bought the annual sets back then anyway.

Coin by itself often sells for less than $20.

It's definitely a unique set with the working light bulb (after batteries are replaced).
Reminds me vaguely of Pink Floyd's Pulse album.

It's definitely a unique set with the working light bulb (after batteries are replaced). I wondered about that, the light. It will be nice if I can get the light working. On the other hand, I am not sure how many years it is expected to work. If any others have this set, I would be interested to know if the light work? |

The seller said they'd ship new batteries with the set. So if the filament isn't broken, should work ok I'd guess.

The set came yesterday, I am happy with it   The seller did send batteries and after figuring out how to replace them the light is working fine. One of the batteries was a little crusty, I tried cleaning that up. There is a note in the box, stating that for keeping the light working longer take the batteries out. The light has a sensor, so when the box is opened the light comes on.  I really don't want to say a lot here, because I am hoping commems will do a detailed post. |
