How's $200 for a harmon light?

Seems like a decent price to me, the only things you may consider buying the light is giving it a clean and maybe a lick of paint

This isn't a super high price(still more than what I would pay), but I don't think this bell is from General Signals...

GE B40-8W's are the best. Well, uh, maybe with some exceptions...?

Yeah, but 200 for one seems way too expensive

$800 dollars for a Raco bell in unknown working condition seems to be way too much.

That and the shipping price the seller has really adds up to almost $900 dollars being spent.

Anyone else see that gong-less Hybrid that got up over $3,000 on eBay back in June?

Bells go "ding". Lights go "flash". And the WCH Gate Mechanism at Kirkwood Road goes "chigRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr".

Appears they got wise and dropped it to $300 + shipping.

Still not the best, but much better than it was.
