    More NOS Added-Signal Stat Strobe Model 309, Visibeam, FS Dashstrobe, Beehive lenses+

    The collection keeps growing. I just got a nice haul in yesterday, of which some will be for sale in a few days. Those items are not among these, except for one.

    The first up is an eBay find from a couple weeks ago. I was the only bidder and I won it for a good price. I let the pics be the judge and I judged right. It appears to be NOS. It is a Signal Stat Model 309 Strobe beacon. It is the same as the Dietz Stobes I have seen with the heat sinks on the side. It must be a later model. It has an SAE # of 1980. The lens is a Dietz stamped piece.







    Next is an NOS Federal Signal/Tomar Dash Strobe in blue. Came sealed in box. This is one bright little light!!!







    Another find was this NOS NIB Federal Visibeam. The deluxe controller is NOS as well and came from Pinball Charlie a couple months ago



    Here is a hard to find one. It is a Code 3 500 series beacon with a single sealed beam roatator. Lens is amber. Completely NOS with long cig lighter plug. Though there are some stress cracks from the screws being overtightened it still is awesome.





    A pair of NOS Kopp Glass Beehive lenses. The red looks like it fits a BR2. The blue is SUPER dark, purple/blue and has very fine fresnel detail inside. Not sure if it fits the BR2.



    Some used stuff too. I got a pair of used Fireball I beacons and an Advantede 18" mini bar from mjberryjr in vintage sales. The FB I's just needed a cleaning and new domes. I did one up, put a new dome on it and it looks sweet. The Advantege got a cleaning and a light polish and it looks like new. The inside is mint and the reflectors are perfect.





    Last was a Federal 400ST Industrial light 120VAC. Has a clear glass Kopp fresnel lens inside. Used but nice. It will be up for sale.

    Great stuff Jeff. I like the Code 3 sealed beam. Heck, I like em all!
    I'm interested in the 400ST when it goes up.

    I really like the Fed Sig DST. Looks like a cool light. Even with all of the LED technology, I still like the pop of a strobe once in a while.

    Lightbulb Mini AdvantEdge

    If you replace the one red endcap with a clear one, you will have an NYPD spec mini AdvantEdge. They used those on the rear of their ESU trucks.

    I need an endcap for it thanks to USPS so clear is an option. Can you tell me did NYPD use it as it sits here otherwise with it half red and clear front and back?

    That advantedge and the fire ball look great. I'm happy you are enjoying them and that they are no longer collecting dust in our station.

    I apologise for not seeing this until now. Yes they did use it in the configuration that it is in in your pic.
