I finally got around to ordering my pole and base from Alloy Castings out in MA. I had them paint it but the color was nothing close to matching my Crouse-Hinds 4-way color which I plan on using it with. Their safety yellow was more of an orange hue much like the signals in the Toronto area.
Also I was not impressed with the quality as some paint was already nicked off and when I ran my finger along it, it easily came off. Not sure what was up with that. I should have left it unpainted. So now it's being stripped & powder-coated. Also getting the Crouse-Hinds slip fitter bottom piece (reproduction cast iron piece) powder coated along with a Crouse-Hinds finial and the top dome of the 4-way along with some crown nuts. The price: $90.
I should have it in within a week to ten days. I'll post pics when all is done and put back together.Steve, you'll be impressed with the results.
