Federal Enterprises (prior to Fed Sig) Beacon Ray Model 17 Restoration

[wfdstation42]

Here are before and after pics of a Federal Enterprises Beacon Ray Model 17. The chrome was shot, tag was corroded and the only paint left on the tags was 2 very tiny rings under the mounting screws and the dome was crazed. Sent the base to John Dorgan for rechroming and bought one of his blue domes. I restored the tag.

WOW!!! Looks new again. That tag is a bit different than the typical versions where the lighthouse and "beach" have a red background. I have one myself and never noticed it until I was comparing notes at Ryan's house. Great job on the tag restoration as well.

Fed Sig changed the color layout of the lighthouse and shore from all-polished to an outline form somewhere around 1958-59.
