Anybody remember lights on your antenna?

LMAO.......I'm WEARING a pair of Dan Post boots RIGHT THIS SECOND that I got at Boot City in TH about 10 years ago.....Thats funny as can be.

 

Not to hijack this thread anymore than we already have, but Dan Post makes some darn good boots!

I bought a pair when that one place in Marion was going out of business as part of their buy one pair get two pair free sale. Most comfortable and durable pair of cowboy boots I've ever owned.

 

Rusty Spur/Randy's Ranchwear.....I like to have went bankrupt over that sale and by the time it was over I couldn't WAIT for them to close shop....lol...Yeah these boots are Elk and are like gloves....I wear them to Church and funerals only anymore because they are in the best shape of any pair I have and thats after TEN years.I use DoubleH cowboy work boots with steel toes for work boots and I just replaced my old pair that were 8 years old.I had three sets of heels replaced and they still dont have hole in the leather but they are beat to a pulp.

 

Some were just "chicken lights" and they did look good. They stayed on via a switch, or, were wired into the parking light circuit. I believe a few peeps even had a few bulbs wired to the mic and they would be powered during transmissions.

However, the best, and, most intriguing were the fluorescent tubes that required no wiring. The RF of a good radio would make the gas glow beautifully. If you really had a "shoot out" capable radio, your assistant could walk into the parking lot holding the tube, and, it would magically light up every time you keyed up the mic.

Those were the days.

 

The ones I have are the chickenlights....They are funtioning ants ,but I've never used them as such.I couldn't see them being very good for that purpose.As far as chickenlights go tho',they are the cat's ###.

 

havent been around enough to know

 

I'm late on this thread. and haven't read every post. So if I'm making a comment that's already been said....sorry.

But you've got to think "new wave". Black lights dude

Nothing like that strange purple glow

Just be sure to get as high a wattage as you can find. They will blow otherwise. Never had a regular flouresent do that.

 

As brutha' Hound has said,ANY light looks good in the right spot...I intend on farting around with that old Reo and LIGHTING IT UP like a UFO from the planet 67GOMERPYLE.I've got a 240 amp alt. just waiting and HOPEFULLY when I get done with it(if I don't end up swapping it for something stupid,like a goat) she'll end up with some flashy paint,homemade western hauler style bed,plenty of polished stainless and diamond plate and about 200 lights.Fer' safety ya know

Geezer, I missed those on ebay...it said the page was no longer available.
