1970s CGE 8" Signal
|
Here's my other CGE 8-8-8 traffic signal. I got this for a really good price as the original wiring, sockets, and terminal block was missing. Using some parts and wire I had lying around I was able to make it functional again with some snap in ceramic sockets and a spare terminal block.
I also gave the housing a good clean and polished the scuffs on the lenses away with some Novus polish. Unfortunately it seems like the red lens has a small crack on it from a impact. Oddly it's branded with the text "Canadian General Electric" while the amber and green are unbranded. The housing appeared to have been brush painted while in service at one point. Unlike my other signal, this one is from the 1970s and has plastic lenses instead of glass and a updated housing.
I'm currently using 60w clear rough service lamps in it.
