:scratch: Kennedy model?

This signal will be stored indoors, just like all the others so I doubt a restoration will ever be necessary. Even my TCT and its painted-with-sidewalk-chalk visors still looks great.

Kennedy was an obscure brand that had housings made presumably at the same casting foundry as Eagle back in the day. Their housings were thinner but were the same design as the Eagles

Ah. Personally I'm still shocked that I own a signal that Jerry doesn't have. :shock:

Don't let it see the light of day or any water because then this will happen and you'll be able to strip the light with your fingernail like this one. :Phil:

In all seriousness, that is a sharp looking signal, congrats on the nice score!! :drool:

Yes, the powder coating traps the moisture. As you can see the aluminum is fine. If you want to keep it looking new, Store in a cool, dry place!!!

The signal cables were dated 1996.

  Removed Wednesday and showed up Thursday night..... :Wink2:  
Well what do you know. If I put my name here, I do not have to sign it everytime.
