Where do you use your vintage soda machine(s)?

Doc,
Thanks so much for taking the photo for me. I like your idea, but that won't work for me because I have a dimmer dial hidden in the top hole. But I may use your other idea, except I want to mount it to the top of a big thick verticle pipe (large post-sized). Not sure which materials to use.

Thanks so much.

You can use standard 1 1/2" plumbing pipe (as long as it wasn't made before 1950ish).  Is your light metal or plastic?  Those plastic ones are real easy to drill through.  I made a doghouse light with some plastic lights and I used a (can not remember the exact name) flange (located by the toilets, not with the rest of the pipes) and I drilled holes through the light for the bolts.

I got a sequencer from Lights To Go for mine - http://trafficlights.com/default.htm .
Here's the inside:

Great link!
Thanks.

I too use the sequencer from Lights to Go, and if you want to go authentic for brackets try Scott signal company
I've been happy with their service, only wish they would get some octagon bases in stock.

Kilroy, wow that's a great resource too!
Thanks guys. Just when I think I am alone in a collection, I find out there's a whole world of strange collectors like me.

Thats the truth. I picked up a big bang cannon at a garage sale that led to firecracker and black powder cannons...
No cool board though.
