Apollo 10 LM Flown Spotlight and Power Cord
<B>Apollo 10 Lunar Module Flown Spotlight and Power Cord.</B></I> A small, approximately 2.75" x 2.25" x 2.25" in size, dual-bulb and dual-lens light assembly with Velcro on the top for attachment to the walls of the lunar module and a female four pin connector at the back. Also included is a coiled power cable assembly, approximately 36" in length (not stretched), with four pin connectors on either end (male/female). This small, portable spotlight was removed by Apollo 10 Lunar Module Pilot Gene Cernan from the cockpit of the Lunar Module <I>Snoopy</B></I> prior to it being sent into lunar orbit. This light assembly supplied secondary lighting to the cockpit, and could be moved around to several brackets attached to the ceiling of the lunar module. The coiled power cord could be plugged into several receptacles inside the spacecraft.<BR><BR>Since none of the lunar modules ever returned to the Earth intact, flown artifacts from them are extremely rare. Our research shows that this is one of only three of these LM-flown spotlights known. An opportunity not to be missed. <I>From the personal collection of Captain Gene Cernan accompanied by written authentication by Cernan.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Miscellaneous Collectibles, Smal (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)<BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 100-110 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 22.50% Buyer's Premium with a $9 minimum Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Auctions. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Auctions, and all other information should be considered preliminary.
