Hi Folks,

Removed all the masking off the cabinet today.

Front view.

Side views.

Back view.

All the other aluminum parts have been painted with the exception of a couple of door hinge brackets. Will clear coat all the parts before and during assembly. All the brass machine screws and bolts have been cleaned and polished. Once installed, these will be clear coated to protect from corrosion.

Cheers!

Hi Folks,

Started rebuilding the Plessey signal.

Installed the latching studs, hinges and doors.

We will have the brass parts showing. Replaced the steel screws with brass on the door hinges. Depending on weather, this light may be finished and mounted by Sunday.

Cheers!

Hi Folks,

Here are more photos showing the completion of the Plessey Tin Lantern.

This is the top end cap with the TS-12 sequencer with power wire and light harness assembly.

Top end cap installed.

Bottom end cap.

Another angle showing assembly.

View inside cabinet "looking up" towards the top. The sequencer is mounted inside of the upper end cap will provide better protection from moisture.

Continued assembly. Glass lenses installed.

Reflectors installation.

Door closed and testing sequencer.

This is after we mounted to the post on the deck.

Cheers!
