VERT and Sedan Semaphores+More Parts   Price: $US varied
--One NOS set of vert semaphores with yellow lenses: $2499 **
--One SWF 111 953 021F semaphores without lenses: $459US
--One NOS set of SWF smooth semaphores with yellow lenses; $799US
--One set of NOS SHO smooth semaphores with yellow lenses: $699US

** On the Vert semaphores, I will replace the bulb wire, and coil covers if buyer wishes. SWF bulb wire is very fragile and prone to fully fraying and shorting out. Coil covers often shrink reducing protection from dust and dirt. NO CHARGE

Next, a quick summary of other parts I have:
-- NOS SWF Red Knob semaphore switches
-- NOS oval wiper bases
--Oval grill clocks including one NOS,
--NOS Bremi 25 HP distributor caps-pristine condition
--NOS Waso shift locks
--Flower vases
--Spare bulb boxes (One Osram).

NOTE: Please be cautious of sellers whose ads are very incomplete, selling all reproduction semaphores with no mention of the fact or no description of clear flaws such as lenses that have warped or shrunk.

I have been out of semaphores for some time now. The pandemic has limited travel and events but that recently changed and I was able to buy a few sets.

Those who know me and my work recognize that I take semaphore restoration to the highest level and I will outline what I do at the end of this email. It will take me some years to fully restore what I was able to buy. I can have sets ready fairly quickly so please let me know what you would like and I can focus on them. Here is summary of what I have:


BUILD to ORDER Complete from $599US
--Multiple sets of SWF smooth semaphores with yellow lenses: lenses can be NOS to near NOS, to very good used to good used to fair used.
--Multiple sets of SWF smooth semaphores without lenses
--One set of NOS SHO smooth semaphores with yellow lenses
-- A couple of SHO smooth semaphores without lenses

Pay by Wise: no extra charge
Pay by PayPal add 4%
Shipping and insurance to US is $25 - elsewhere please enquire.

WHY BUY SEMAPHORES FROM MATT”S PARTS

• First, we strive to start with only the best premium used semaphores. You can be sure of high quality parts from the lenses, arms, bodies and coils. We do not cover up garbage. Occasionally we have a budget set of semaphores for sale and are upfront about any imperfections.
• Second, all work is done by me personally except for bead blasting and painting arms and plating the bodies and pistons.
• Once semaphores are disassembled we:
--Plate pistons in hard nickel except if they are in NOS condition.
--Plate the bodies in clear cadmium
--Clean the solenoids, recover them in cotton and then treat the cotton with multiple layers of clear electrical lacquer. We spend more time on the coils than most others spend on a full restoration. They will not shrink or fall off.
--Clean and polish the lenses by hand and use only original lenses.
--Install new springs on SWF semaphores, the return spring that winds around the hinge pin is made by hand in stainless steel wire as is the large U shaped retainer spring for the pin upon which the piston linkage pivots. The spring from the hook end of the piston linkage to underside of the arm is also new.
