Found this upper quadrant in Parsons, KS from a gentleman that has a huge collection that he is putting together for his own museum.  One of the pictures shows a very small portion of what he has along with the one I bought on the left side.  He doesn't sell much, only duplicates.  I hauled this beauty home in the back of a pickup.  I spent the next couple of months doing the restoration work.  Poured a large concrete box with 5/8" bolts sunk in then mounted everything on it.  It sits at the entrance to our Rogers Rod & Rail Ranch outside of Rogue River, OR.  It operates as the gate is opened or closed or by remote control switch.  If anyone is in the area and would like to come by and see it in operation drop me a note at...  vcca28chev@msn.com - Richard Rogers
