Several years ago I restored this Marx light tower that I had for years.It came out great but I only had one .I recently obtained two more so I decided to restore them.Here is the first one.

Here is the first one;Solid but the paint is chipped and there is some surface rust.
I used 2 medium grit sanding drums to take it down to bare metal.
Here are the parts after primer.
After 3 coats of silver I masked the tower off with paper and 3M blue masking tape,I then started painting the red.
The first one was in such bad shape that it's now an airplane?

No! I am not sure how my devastator was included on the first photo!

THanks!I'll have to check out pics of your layout!
Okay! I took off the paper and tape and re-assembled it.It looks good next to the first one!
beautlful!
Okay I had a little trouble wiring it!I didn't realize it was necessary to add a non-metallic washer between the base and the terminal nut.That solved the problem! Here it is!
