Again, nice pics Tony. Do you suppose any of those old pot signals survive today, the ones in the first picture?


Nudge

There are two of the pot signals that survive. They are examples of the smaller one on the left of the photo.

They are part of a collection and were legally obtained from the SP when the Oakland Mole was being demolished.

I have a photo of one of them will see if I can find it.

I notice the 332 has a booster. How many of the mikes had boosters?
