So far 9017, 9052, and 9099 have the signs! Also I should note that only the 9000-9111 group are getting the new signs. Edited by Frankford5905, Sep 28 2009, 05:11 PM.

They just push a switch and roll the sign upwards or downwards. Hand cranks are way back in the day. I wonder if the PCC IIs now have the motorized roll signs now.

I dunno...there will be no need to spend money on motorized cranks because the PCCs serve only two destinations that I know of as of now. Hand cranks are fine. I am gonna ask the drivers and/or watch what they do on layover. @ Nabi60SFW9620: I think they MUST keep the flip-dot signs. That's the last bit of diversity I see these days here in Philly. And I like taking pictures of them at night, because the signs are not too bright.

If that happened the entire TA would have orange LED signs. the only septa vehicles in the last 30-some years that had hand cranks for the roll signs were on the the old PCC trolleys. the old fishbowls, flxibles and the Kawasaki's all use a rocker switch and a motor. i am not sure if the rebuilt PCC II' s motorized just about everyone on this forum knows that NABI 5251 and Neoplan AN460 7101 are currently the only non-new flyer busses with the orange LEDs. it would be a waste of money to install the orange LEDs on the NABIs now as they are in the process of being retired
