Project #0752
Page 1 Page 2

Project #0752 is restoring a Dispachers panel that was located in a tower near the Fern Rock Transportation Center. It was removed a few years ago and I bought it from someone who had it stored at a museum. My dad and I drove to Marion Ohio to get this panel and a GRS NX panel. All the contacts on this panel are extremly corroded and either need to be cleaned or replaced. I had several spare lamp units and replaced the ones that have broken. To clean the contacts I have been boiling Simple Green and wather. It has worked quite well! I will restore this panel to the same as to how it was when it was removed from serivce.
