    FOUND! SVP Vortex strobe

    I'm looking for an SVP Vortex strobe dashlight. Any color is fine. PM me if you have one. I have Blue TIR3 and TIR3 style lights to trade, or cash.

    Thanks,
    Dan

    The Vortex is very hard to come by. It was made by Southern Vehicle Products but was not continued by Signal Vehicle Products after they were purchased by STAR in 2000.

    Good luck with the hunt.

    Thanks for the information. I didn't know it had been quite that long since they were made. I know it may take a while, but I'm sure SOMEBODY on here has one they would part with.

    Just in case someone here does have one, and isn't sure if they want to part with it, I'll start my bidding at $100. I really want to find one, so if you have one and want cash...let me know.

    No where on there does it list if it's a Southern product. Possiblity it might be an imposter.

    Ok I shall bite, whats so special about this strobe?
    An annoyance online since original BBS days- early 90's. Damn I miss modem tones... but not 14.4 kbit/s.

    You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I'm going to get and beat you with until you understand who's in command here.... (best quote ever!)

    I checked there a couple days ago, and he said they haven't had any in about 5 years.

    As for what is so special about this light....for me it is a few things:

    1: It is a unique light that is not often seen
    2: I'm trying to do a "period correct" install on my 98 Tahoe, and this would look great on the dash, as opposed to a Dashmiser that is/was more commonly used.

    Thanks to Pipo, I have one coming, but boy did I pay for it...but I guess that is part of this hobby. Thread locked, and can be moved to Sold/Found.

    Thanks!
