Description: Martin Red Ball Parking Meter Dome Lens Very Rare to Find. You don't find these being offered on Ebay very often. This is a new replacement Dome Lens for the Martin Red Ball Parking Meter. When I was preparing to restore my Martin Red Ball Parking Meter, I noticed that it was missing the clear plastic dome. Realizing that no one offered them for sale, we had a small quantity produced by a plastics expert. He used the original dome lens to produce a mold for making the new lens. A multi step process that was costly but the result was fantastic. He produced a very nice dome. It’s very difficult to tell it from the original. I just had a new batch made and the price has really gone up. Since not all machine are exactly alike, we had the domes made a little long, so you will have to size it for your machine. On the first meter I tried it on, it fit perfectly with no adjustments needed. On the second one, we saw that the frame (cage) that goes around the dome was made a little different, which caused us to need to shorten the length of the lens slightly. We placed some masking tape around the base of the dome and then placed the dome in the cage and drew a line around the dome at the base of the cage. We then used a bench grinder to remove the excess material up to just short of the line we drew with the marker. We then sanded the remaining excess off up to the line. It took a few minutes to do, but it insured that we have a proper fitting dome. Ours fits perfectly in our Red Ball and so should yours. Because, we had such a small batch produced, they were a bit expensive to make. Produced to the Highest Quality Standards. I have added pictures for your viewing. It's a really nice looking Dome lens to compliment your Red Ball Parking Meter. Please keep watching my Ebay auctions for nice replacement parts. If you need it and don't see it, please ask. Let me know of you have any questions. Please see my other auctions for some neat stuff!
