So I get to the store and the guy is like..
" Just in time guy.....I gave you the wrong price.. 50 is for the wired up ones I had, the ones that I didn't wire were 30.. so I wired this one up for you today with a switch off of one of the 3 piece lights"... so I kinda stare at the signal and how he just had drilled 2 fresh holes in the poly and mounted this junk junction box and switches to the back.. ugh.
I guess Its not THAT big of a deal, I mean you don't look at that side and it is just for display, but it was like, he did me no favor there....
I forgot to write down the name of the brand, maybe you folks can ID it.. Its at my office. The hand lens is a bit faded, nothing paint couldn't fix, but is it better to just leave these things alone for authenticity? Has anyone else here touched up poly lenses or glass lenses? I have seen chineese arrows and things for sale on
that were terribly faded and was wondering if those can be fixed up without hurting their value.
to me because I did not see what signals they had before. I was wondering if anyone knew the history on those signals and when the long-stride man appeared. I saw at an antique shop out in the country there in Canada some old pedestrian signals, (I think they were poly though) for sale a few years back. I found the shop via google maps and was able to make a call over there. The shop keeper says he has one left and he will sell it to me for 50 dollars Canadian. I was thinking about picking it up.. anyone else have one of these signals? lll be sure to post pics when I get it.
