  • This time at the Quick Speed Shop its another Neat Old Stuff Saturday. I have a really neat old Crouse Hinds Model D traffic light. This is an early exmple of the Model D with the cotton door gaskets, probably made between 1936 and 1945.

    Now that is cool, rewire it it place it up by the gas station. That for showing off the cool traffic light.

    You are right, vintage lenses made in wooden molds at Corning Glass Works! Question? Why is it that green sees me driving and immediately goes to yellow as a police car is behind me? Do I stop fast or keep going? LOL Fun factual video today!

      As Elwood Blues says "The light was yellow officer."

      I had a rougher DT that was yellow and had the wrong lenses. I cleaned it up with correct smileys and sold it at Hershey for less then the costs of the lenses

      @QuickSpeedShop man I wish I was closer to you I got an issue with an old 50s hotrod time capsule (newly purchased) 34 5w Coupe. I'm slowly getting it ready to cold start after 20+ years. Race engine 66/67 289 cobra. Unknown build info...Crane gen 1 aluminum roller rockers and I see a yellow cam down the dizzy hole. One rocker is split. I have partially rotated the engine, got a few push rods not delivering oil. My next move is to continue to manually rotate motor and retest manually, driving the oil pump hopefully get everything oiling. Then consider finding a replacement rocker arm or replace all.

    👍🏻I put Christmas string lights in each lens, each one flashes. When ever someone comes over and asks how I got it to flash like that.

    well 400 bucks who would of thunk it I put a sequencer on mine as you mentioned and was missing the covers too so I took a aluminum stop sign and bend pieces over my knee cut to fit looks legit also might be of interest to note that they also have a puck that you can drop into each socket then screw in your bulb and they will now flash cheap and easy.

    The 8 inch signal head used a 60 watt bulb the 12 inch used a 120 watt bulb.

    The green lens looks blue to me.

    • @QuickSpeedShop

      It's blue-ish, not really green like new lenses. These are also slightly faded from years out in the sun

    You need what is called a traffic light sequencer. I had one that worked for years and just quit the other day. Need to replace it.
