RESTORING OLD TRAFFIC SIGNALS |
This feature is presented primarily to benefit new signal collectors who may be undertaking some more challenging restorations. It can be extremely rewarding to restore some ancient traffic signal to like-new appearance and operation, however some of the processes can be a bit tricky.
My first advice is to start out simple. Develop your restoration skills on signals that aren't in real rough condition, and develop techniques that work well for you. Recognize that sometimes the most important "technique" is patience. Whenever I've messed something up and caused myself a bunch of extra work it's because I rushed part of the process. I will be adding more tips to this section as I have time to photograph the processes and compose web documents. Here's what I have completed so far. | |
