Got everything taken apart and salvaged all the good parts, the bottom went on my other Eagle. The base is the main reason I bought this light.

A few of the parts were traded to another member that needed them for a beacon that they are getting ready to restore.

Here are some pic's of what I plan on doing with some of the rest of the parts, including the base without the flange that I took off of the signal in the above picture.

With a little work, this should be a nice beacon. I believe that the original color was black, so that's what I'll paint the beacon.

That looks nice Jerry, painting it black will make it look different than it's big brother.

Mark, what finish black? flat,satin, gloss? Mine orig paint Eagle is weather beaten down to a satin-flat, OT what about yours? Guess it all depends on the final look you are after, brand new or other...

I was thinking a satin finish would look best, if it had repro visor's I would consider a gloss finish. Every one of the visor's on this light had to be worked back into shape. I think the satin finish would help hide some of the imperfections.
