New AGA Signal Services Corp Beacon and 4-way

Postby charger on Tue Jul 02, 2013 9:52 pm

I picked up a new 4-way AGA Signal Services Corp BAP 37 and beacon

Unpacking the 4-way body :grin:

4-Way top
Image

4-way reflectors

Unpacking the beacon :crazy:
Image

The top has a Marb tag? :scratch:
Image

The beacon controller looks like a PC board with motor controller :cool:
Image

The lens are large bead smileys with one red 27 and one 88a Green :Phil:

SWEET, that 4 way has to weigh a ton, is the signal body steel or aluminum?? I was watching that one, you got a very cool light plus the extra beacon.... :2Cool:

The top and bottom are cast with a heavy brass hanger.

The sections are aluminum but with the thick glass, doors, and lens it is a very heavy light. :dizzy:

I have all of the sockets ready to test Gordon's bionic shoulder. :thumbsup:

Even as I write this I'm setting up for my first run of sockets and gaskets. Sorry it's been so long, but it seems the older I get the longer it takes me to heal!
I'm so old I remember when the word "mother" only had one meaning!!!

Congratulations! I was watching the 4-way on eBay. The final price was well within reason for that gem!
