Wanted Cop-lite, Unitrol siren, Unitrol Wig Wag, Motorola Spectra VHF

[Drewstang]

I'm restoring a Santa Clara CA District Attorney Mustang and I need several pieces of equipment. They used red round 5" Cop-lite with the Hot Shoe mount for forward warning. A Unitrol under cover style siren and Unitrol 131 head light flasher were also installed. For coms they used Motorola Spectra A4 on VHF band. I've been a member here for sometime, I have good rep, and I prefer to use paypal but whatever works for the seller. Thanks for your help. 

EDIT-

I have located a head light flasher and siren. Still searching for a possible used Cop-lite, and Spectra A4 radio before I turn to ebay.

Cop lite is still in business. I spoke with Harry yesterday to order the same light you want.

I have a unitrol 380 siren control head, it used a 80K remote amp, (not included)

Did he mention I had a friend ask about one on Friday, lol? I was hoping to find one a little cheaper, not that his prices are high but every dollar saved is a plus. If I can't find a used item in decent shape I will order a new one.

They used an undercover siren which had no control other than a single toggle switch. Thank you, but this isn't what I'm looking for.

No he didn't, but the call got cut short and he is calling me back on Monday. LOL

Probably a Unitrol 80K amplifier with a 180K switch, as shown on page 3 of the manual: http://www.fedsig.com/docs/80k.pdf

Just curious, why did the district attorney's office need Mustangs with all that stuff?

 

[Drewstang]

Looking at wiki, the DA in California is the Chief Law Enforcement agency for the county and they are involved with investigations of all types. The SCDA website has a listing of the divisions. I guess since CHP, FBI, USPS and may more were using Mustangs during the time period they felt the need to use them. As far as the covert lighting and radio, I guess they needed them to blend in for surveillance.

Radio found and purchased. One last bump before buying a new light (I'm trying to make it to a FOP show by June 20.)

He hasn't updated his website in over 10 years

 

[Drewstang]

Very nice guy, but by the time I leave work USPS is closed. Saturdays are super busy as well. Taking only MO's these days along with a somewhat "outdated" product probably doesn't make much sense to invest time and effort into updating the website. 

BTW, I'm still looking for a light and someone who accepts paypal for payment.

 

[Drewstang]

Still looking for this Cop-lite. Don't have time to stop and get a money order, then mail it, then wait 3-4 weeks for arrival.

coplite round: make offer option.

I'll have some updated pics shortly but this is when I brought the car home:







So far I have the wig wags, siren, and VHF Spectra installed but no updated pics. This is the location they installed the lights in another car from the same year:

Very nice piece of history you have there.
