Arrow Lenses!
My arrow lenses arrived today xD. These are the harder to find 8" versions too. We used to have 8" arrows here in Toronto but they died out when Toronto began removing their 8-8-8 signals. There are some left in the street car signals though.

Ahh no i didn't see these until your comment on the other pic. Razz Laughing These are pretty cool! Plus they're glass! Did you get just green or are there ambers ans reds too?

Thanks! the lenses are all greens though. I heard that Kopp also made yellow and red 8" arrow lens but they're very rare. Even 8" green arrows are very rare since they're never used now. BTW I posted a link in the forum for some 12" glass lenses with seals for a very good price. Unfortunately the 8" arrow lenses are sold out now...someone bought 5 of them after I did. Shocked

Ahh. Yeah I've never seen any 8" arrows here. About the 8" arrows selling out on ebay: yeah some people are very selfish. They find something vintage at a good price and hoard on it, giving others no chance to get one. That's why when i find soemthing on ebay that I'm trying to get, I post it here after i either win the auction or buy it. not to be mean, but i'd hate to be outbid by a fellow member. Sad

Here's a shot showing a 8" arrow but it has long since been replaced with a 12" arrow. As for the arrows selling out, I remember around a year ago there were some very rare 400w H-1 mercs for a very good price on eBay but someone bought a lot of them. I do what you do too to avoid being outbid by a fellow member but so far a lot of my stuff has been buy it now.

The 8" arrows were surprisingly cheap too, they were 5 bucks each but since the shipping was 35 I figured I'd get 3 to lower the cost of each lens.

Oh and if you look in the for sale section of the site, I've posted a couple links to some interesting stuff along with some glass lenses for your traffic light.

Update: it seems the seller has more 8" green arrows to sell. See forum for the link.
