Project #0740
Page 1


Project #0740 is making one good wigwag and another into a static display. I got both these wigwags for the Unilens signal and a bunch of parts. I got several spare banners and 2 new hoods and lens for one banner. The signal that the case is painted needs to be rewired and new relays installed. It had a rusted pole changing relay and a rusted reserve light relay. Luckly in the parts there was a good pole relay and in the rusted signal the reserve relay was in good condition. Someone started to restore this wigwag and quit, I had to replace the terminal block and drill new holes for the pole relay. The coils on the wigwag which I am calling #1 are not in the best condition. The bearings are different for both wigwags, you can swap the bearings but the #2 is rusted up. Im not sure where the painted one came from but the second one was founf laying in the creek in water. Explains the rust!
