Well what do you know. If I put my name here, I do not have to sign it everytime.

Here are some pictures of the pieces.The stop -go rotates 90 degrees on the 4 round bearings you can see on the picture with the bulb.The bottom connector has 10 pins. The top connector has the three. Plastic color sheets behind the stp-go cutouts. Motor and transmission out for repairs. Motor ran forward and reverse probably 1725 but my motor man thought he would try 220, few sparks so now out for repairs. 5 bulbs, 50 watt, and one of them still worked.
all sockets work. Bulbs were clear.Will see how it goes back together. What I am looking for is a controller to make it work. Larry NEED HELP TO LOAD PICTURES.

I'm a little surprised that it doesn't have a controller built in. Also, I wonder if it might have been controlled manually by a cop near the intersection with some kind of remote switch.
I'm so old I remember when the word "mother" only had one meaning!!!
