The sections are aluminum but with the thick glass, doors, and lens it is a very heavy light. :dizzy:

I have all of the sockets ready to test Gordon's bionic shoulder. :thumbsup:


That's freakin awesome!!! I'm glad it went to a good home!!! :yes: :thumbsup: :good:

I think Gordon is close to getting his old groove on again, we all hope anyway. :grin:


Even as I write this I'm setting up for my first run of sockets and gaskets. Sorry it's been so long, but it seems the older I get the longer it takes me to heal!

I know how you feel! I worked in the yard for two days not only did I get covered with the Maryland state flower ( poison ivy) but it took three days to recover! :sleep2:

It looks like the 4-way had some kind of controller mounted to the bottom. There are 4 holes and a clean spot were something was. :scratch:

Does anyone know if they used internal controllers in the 4-ways?

Also, what type of lens did they have? Right now it has large bead smileys which look great. :thumbsup:

A copy of the SSC catalog is on http://signal-archive.d-domains.net/
It talks about how a beacon can be furnished with a flasher internal to the signal, but doesn't mention about a controller inside a 4-way RYG signal. But that doesn't mean that one couldn't have been added in...

Hey Mike,

Thanks for the link. :thumbsup:

One think I have noticed is the AGA are not like the CH or Eagle 4-way sections. The AGA have gaps and holes and don't fit together like CH or Eagle.

Kind of like mega blocks are to Lego! :rotfl:
