Sorry, but I don't know. I'm not up on my GE history.

The signal has been disassembled, everything came apart very easily except the hanger which had to be cut off. The hanger was a CH and won't be used once the signal is restored. I believe most everyone at OSM saw this signal as it was when I received it, hope to get the paint stripped off tonight and look for somewhere to take it to be media blasted. If anyone can give me tips on restoring the reflectors and other hardware, advice is welcome.

Short of buying your own resilvering kit, there isn't much you can do beyond soap and water to the reflectors.

I'm happy with the condition of the reflectors overall, except for the appearance of the back side. The surface seems to be very delicate and I do not want to try any chemicals to clean them. I tried soap and water on one of them to clean it up, that worked well but I don't know what color to paint them??
Suggestions??

Jay and friends put on a great event, I totally enjoyed myself!!!
The only down side was the guy that hit three of our vehicles. I'm not worried about it, that's what insurance is for. Nobody got hurt because all three cars were parked, there's idiots everywhere you go unfortunately.Mark

I believe that surface is actually Copper. Not copper in color, but the element Copper. I would paint them flat black if you are happy with them as they are, but if they were mine I'd just wash them good and reinstall.
What's with all the quotes in everyone's signatures?
