New Find, Marbelite 4-way!
Found this bad boy at Restore today. It's a Marbelite fixed 4-way from the 50s or the 60s. Lenses are a mix of Marbelite TL-4777, Kopp TL-4777, The old Corning Marbelite long bolt lenses, and Eagle 88 lenses. Reflectors are aluminium. It came with 75w GE halogens but I swapped them out with some VL 60w signal bulbs I had. Man, this thing is heavy and a lot bigger than I expected.

Thanks! Yeah, I originally wasn't gonna grab it but it was on sale today Razz .

Now to figure where to put it and to hook it up to a controller board. But first, it needs some cleaning up and maybe some new paint on the visors.

Nice find, Joe. Indeed it does looks bigger and heavier in person than hanging over the intersection Wink

Ahh well you better clear some room for it! I still haven't gotten visors for my PEEK signal. I was going to repaint it but I think I'll leave it original. Though I might have to repaint it since i already partly sanded down the green section. Mad
