Finally brought the old Darley in from its spot out by the pool for a little clean-up...here's my granddaughter checking it out!

Does that have an original controller in it? I forgot! Very nice looking Darley!

...and is that a neon ped housing on the left???

Very nice light. Is that the original commands

Thanks...it's not the original controller but it is a motor driven, two cam controller. And, six of the eight lenses are the original commands...the other two are plain smileys.

And the yellow housing is a CH housing, probably designed for neon, but equipped with a fiber optic insert that I'm cleaning up...

Nice signal Pete, your grand daughter looks very interested in how it works.

Sweet

CH? You'll have to provide more pics. I've only seen Econolite use that E8 casting.

I'd love to find a fiber insert for mine. That's one of the rarer versions of the neon peds.

That is a great looking light! I've always wanted one.

You gotta start early....where is her GT shirt????
Great stuff though, that one is similar to Dr P's, if I recall his was converted from two to eight and now it is back to two. Did you build the cam in it as well?

She's 2 and 3/4 right now, and she knows the colors and their meanings and what a stop sign is...so she's on her way!

Dr. P's was a 8-bulb and I stripped out the innards and we had the CE shop guy build a divider plate so we could make it a 2 bulb. The controller was the original so we kept that. His came from Lake Wales, Florida; I think one of his short course students sent it to him. It came to him in 1976, as I recall.

Mine came from Tuscaloosa, Alabama; I bought it at a SSITE (before it became SDITE) auction in Gulf Breeze; I'd flown to the meeting so I asked Doug Hefty, the Cobb TE, to bring it back for me in his camper van. I got mine in 1984 or so...
