   That was just … awesome.

   What a fabulous film! The variety of old-fashioned stuff is mind-bending.

   Take note of the guy at 3:50 using a light bulb with two short wires to detect 110V on the blinking sign controller. Not exactly a UL-approved method, but the electrician that serviced our rental house in Mexico in 1973 did the same thing.
