Thread: What Is Your "Holy Grail" Item?

What is the vintage item you are most looking for? The one item you dream of most? The item you would sell a kidney to own? (Are you starting to get the idea? :lol: )

My ultimate item is a 1967 era Sireno Projector 75 watt electronic siren. I had one in mint condition in 1985, but as a dumb kid, I traded it for something. Of course, I don't remember what I traded it for.

My second is also Sireno. A "wobble" beacon, where one light wiggles as the beacon rotates. If only Marcson would share that damn alarm code................[attachment=0:2gzapcmg]projector.jpg[/attachment:2gzapcmg]

P.S. I will trade a GE Powercall for the above in above average condition!!

Smith & Wesson Magnum electronic sirens. I have a Magnum IVb, but I'd also like one of each of the other models:

Magnum IV
Magnum III
Magnum IIIb
Magnum 500
Magnum 500b

Also looking for a Dominion Auto Siren Master electronic siren (looks identical to North American Signal Siren Master).

Set of Par 46 Whelen Strobes with aluminum housings and original power supply with clear lenses...

Whelen DV "Commander" used by KSP.

Whelen Commander oscillating beacon.
Dan

Yes! Anything that oscillates. Seems like J.C. Whitney used to sell a 4 bulb oscillator long ago. It looked like the typical Sireno beacon shape.

For a long time I looked/wanted a Unity RV-26 with a RED Spitfire Dome. I considered it a had to find item, at least 1 in good condition that I didn't have to pay through the nose or other body openings for.

I finally found this 1, NEW OLD STOCK!, and didn't have to sell of any body parts for it!

I know others would think that its not that rare, but for me to find one in this condition, was a real find!

I'm more of a "siren guy" than "lights guy", and I also have three:

1. Federal PA-5
2. GE Powercall
3. Whelen WS-224/227

Found my 1 and only collectable over a year ago! Unity Unirack with RV-25 Beacon and NOS splitfire dome!
Wired up and functional on my 72 Riviera Cop Car.

Hey 72copriv, I have that same bar that I am in the process of restoring for a friend of mine... are the 'alley lights' stamped Unity also? The one I have has two old spotlight heads with flood bulbs in them... Now I just need to find an RV-25 with a solid red dome... (motor and housing on his is destroyed)

The alley lights shown in my pictures were some old square fog lights off another car, as I did not have any alley lights on it when purchased from Dakota Guns and Lawman. He later set me up with "close to" the correct round Unity alley lights I now have on the car/bar. 1 of them has the Unity logo on top, one does not. Good luck and let me see pics when you get it finished. Search YOUTUBE for 1972 Buick Riviera Cop Car for a little video of them in action.

If you ever want to trade that let me know... I have tons of stuff....

I might even let something like my wobble sireno light go for that!

Two words: Obligatory Video! :mrgreen:
