Yes the big red light is missing. I had put it out front a couple of days before I took the picture. The "big red light" is only part of the assembly. It is a large siren that I restored and sold to a local fire truck buff. He picked it up the day after the original picture. I still have a couple more on the shelf in various states of repair. That one piece of junk netted me $600! It's sale paid for my aerator (tractor related comment). The box under the parking meter is a lockable money drop box. Don't think that there is a dehumidifier in there. It is in the cellar in some unknown corner.
As for someone comment about being a "obsessive compulsive disorder" or "compulsive obsessive disorder", that is hardly the case. I filled a 40 yard dumpster and then put back the good stuff. I just have a hard time selling all that I have collected over the years. A lot of what is in there was given to me by others rather than throw it out. I know that there is value to most all of it, so I just have to sell, sell, sell. Even the cutting torches were given to me by a woman whose husband passed away. I have another set just like it down back and a smaller set in the back of the garage. Those things you don't toss, but sell. I hope to do a major flea market selling spree in the spring...
