Duck the tariffs: Semaphores matching dates Price: From $499US
|
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.
Buy now and duck the tariffs. If you been thinking about buying parts from me then now is the time. Before elimination of the de minimis. Since I am in Canada and most of my customers are in the US there is some risk US citizens will lose the de minimus, allowing importation of $800US per day of goods tax and duty free. This allowance is in place now but may be revoked once US customs has processes in place for collecting tariffs on individual purchases.
We now have a number of sets of date coded semaphores available as follows. We can build to order with the customer choosing from NOS arms and lenses or used arms and lenses:
--111 953 021B H G Aug-55 SOLD
--111 953 021D H H Aug-56 SOLD
--111 953 021D D K Apr-58
--111 953 021D A L Jan-59
--111 953 021F J L Sep-59
--111 953 021F K L Oct-59
--111 953 021F K L Oct-59
--111 953 021F L L Nov-59
--111 953 021F B M Feb-60
--111 953 021F B M Feb-60
--111 953 021F D M Apr-60
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.
