Have a set of semaphore units that I am trying to restore to operational use. but have two different type lenses for them. I am after another two hole mount lense and will swap for the single hole lense that comes with the lampholder. pictures tell the story both are are in great condition no cracks or burn marks. expect the same for trade. this is a trade only not interested in selling. if no one wants to trade will be filed in back of shed till I come across one. let me know u2u or 0422983260
thanks marcus

I dont thing we had single screw arms in Aussie for some reason

All the lens that are reproduced are single screw hole applicable to German and the US which only had semaphores up untill 1955 or so.

you may have to buy a good S/H semaphore or similar

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

repro's.
probably not far off the colour of yours, just how they turned out in the pic.

the single screw lenses are for SWF semaphores and the 2 screw lenses SHO.

we had both here, though of all the semaphores i have found the SHO's out numbered the SWF semaphores about 4 or 5 to 1 (no idea if this is a true representation of what was fitted to the cars when new)
