Crouse-Hinds DT (Art Deco) Cluster
I located this art deco cluster from a trader from whom I had acquired signals before. I liked this cluster as it came with removable cutaway (cap) visors and "smiley" lenses. I knew the signals were completely intact but would be pretty rough, having been hung outdoors for decades.
The cluster did arrive in good condition but just about every bolt, screw and latch was frozen.
This particular project gets attention every few weeks as I soak screws and bolts with PB Blaster and manage to get a few loose. Nonetheless some have snapped and I will need to drill and tap a few holes. Also since I don't want to clip the wiring, the reflectors and sockets have to come out before I can separate the sections for stripping.
