1122 Lanterns: Color Targets?

[marmelmm]

Hi, all!  

 If memory serves, the revolving lanterns on later Lionel 1122 switches had colored targets on them.  Can anyone point me to a source for these?  All the 1122 lanterns I see online these days are the plain black repros.

 Thanks!

VTY,

 Mitch

Could you be thinking of the 1122-123 lanterns used on the early 1122s?  They were made for only one year.  Unlike the 1122-177 used on the later, 1122(E) turnouts, the 1122-123 had an external colored ring around the lens.

 That sounds right to me!  I thought it was a later mod, but I'm certainly willing to be proven wrong.  :)

So, any suggestions for sources?

Looks like my avatar has a long lost cousin stuck in the 70's . .  .

Frank, you just posted a cross link and crashed my machine.

Heh.  Actually, it's a running gag from an art site I'm on.  See, my trademark is aviator specs and a handlebar moustache, so I tend to add the same to various other avatars ranging from Richard M. Nixon to an Egg Mc Muffin (don't ask).

Well I'm glad you have a sense of humor because we are so used to Frank's avitar, which has been around a few years. Yours litterally put me in stitches. Like a graphiti artist nailed poor ole Frank.
