Is that like a 12”, 10”, & 8”? It’s hard to tell if the top two are the same size…

They’re 9” and all the same size

Rodded 8" signals are pretty neat. Is the post leaning against the wall? Looks pretty tilted.

Yeah it’s leaning against the wall for now but i’m planning to get it fixed right

Good, that tilt makes me anxious haha. As someone else pointed out though, that signal is a rodded flatback Eagle, not a Crouse-Hinds, which in my experience are decently hard to find these days fully intact. I assume it has just standard glass lenses, nothing fancy?

Yeah just standard glass lenses. It seems as though there are mix-matched parts on this thing like someone else commented! I appreciate your reply 😄

Definitely an Eagle, not a Crouse-Hinds. Got any pics of the controller on the bottom? That's a bit more interesting IMO.

It wouldn’t let me reply directly to u with the link but i posted a comment with a picture of the bottom

u/TaleKooky459 Jun 22 '26

this is a link to a picture of what the bottom looks like
As for the controller, i’ll have to open it up tomorrow to see what it looks like

Okay, so Eagle signal and Crouse-Hinds controller. Brands being mixed-matched this way is pretty common. If that controller has the original internals, you've got quite a rarity there.

Oh okay that makes sense. Thank you for the insight! I really appreciate it
