A guy called Ross Benedict have had ads in several groups on facebook for restored/rebuild B&J 66 headlamps for for example 1914 Model T.
The price is as it is, but before I deal with this guy I just want to do a sanity check on how he is do deal with - if anybody knows him.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys. I was dealing with him about a pair of "66" headlamps for my 1914 Model T and with shipping and all the pricetag ends up in 900+ USD, so I asume it's OK that I do a little background check.
The chat I had gave an impression of Ross that fits what you write above.
And Ross, if you see this I hope you understand.

I've known Ross for at least 30 years. You won't have any problems.

I've known Ross personally for 7-8 years now and agree with the others. Ross is a good guy to deal with. You should not have any problems with Ross.

Oops, Sorry... I forgot about that. His earliest post to the Old Forum that is still Google live, goes back to 2008

He was over my house last week helping me fix a cowl light hinge on our Coupelet.
Same as Stan said.

I tried to search here in this forum, but not in the old ones and found nothing. That lead me to speculate if you where member here.
I just shows one have to be very ceareful when using Google or other seach mechanisms.
They will go on this car:
The "66" lamps you see are rebuild for electric light, and I actually want to keep both options at the same time so the two sets of lamps are interchangable.
