I've had come in with some equipment 4 of these Marc 300/16 lamps (they are GE Lamps, made in the U.S., if that's a help), they look as if they may have been used (1 at least), but I'm no expert on these lamps, but if anyone would like to take a chance, I want £25 plus post, they may make great back up lamps. So if interested contact me at indi8films@aol.com .

FYI - those are not Xenon lamps, they're MARC (Mercury ARC).

You might also want to indicate which variety of MARC 300 lamps they are... There's EZM Marc 300/16 , and EZG Marc 300/16A (aka GEMINI) (IIRC).

Dear Steven,

I have altered my listing, I'm afraid this is the first time I've had in this kind of lamp, and my knowledge is very basic in this field. I'm afraid I don't know what type they are either, although I have the original box, all it has on it is Marc-300/16 projection, I cannot see any other coding, still someone on the forum might know which ones I have, here's hoping.

EZM has on both sides one ceramic cup glued on
EZG has one ceramic cup on one side and two cups on the other side

It shouldn't tell tales out of school or blow a good deal for someone, but don't cheat yourself. Those lamps are VERY valuable and expensive. Like $300. They were discontinued awhile back, too.
