Last Stray Signal Made it Home!!

Postby mcha9797 on Wed Aug 07, 2013 7:25 pm

I purchased this signal several weeks ago, but transportation to Florida became a challenge. Transportation was finally arranged and it arrived last Sunday in Jacksonville FL. where I picked it up while I was working.

It has an interesting group of lenses in it, 9 of the 12 lenses are Horni #27 lenses. Some of the visor's were bent up pretty good, but I straightened them up for these pic's.

The lenses are soaking in the sink, awaiting a good cleaning. I have another thread with questions about these lenses, I guess I'll shift that information to this thread. I'll post pic's of the lenses later tonight or tomorrow.

Ah, this must be the one that needed transport. That's great it wasn't all busted up upon arrival unlike a certain transportation company I'm thinking of :rant:
Nice score :thumbsup:

Looks like I have two sets of RYG Horni #27 lenses in perfect condition, plus an extra amber. I also have a red with some damage and a green in good shape except for a chip on the edge that could be easily glued back in place.

Looking for some spiderweb's if anyone is interested in a trade.

This signal has a 4 conductor wire running into it, the red's on "main street" are wired to green's on "side street" and all of the amber's are wired together. Would this have been connected to a controller with an amber overlap? I can't imagine this signal still wired this way, unless it has been in storage for a long time. :scratch:

ANOTHER fine addition to your family of signals! :thumbsup: What are your plans for it? Restore or leave that sweet patina on it?
