Rare Whelen 884D (4) bulb rotator

[kerry4951]

Just picked this Whelen 884D up. The "D" versions are rare, and especially the 4 bulb (884) rotators. The "D" versions had the higher chrome base. I think it spent some time under water. The motor is toasted. I was able to refurbish the base and the dome. It was missing the dome retaining ring but thats whats nice when you have some spare parts. The bulb holders and the rest of the internals are OK after some cleaning and polishing. It will need a motor and gear box and then it should be up and running.

I saw that one. I figured one of you would scoop it!

Nice find and great job on the restore so far! Like night and day. I love the blue of that lens.

I made a crazy offer and they took it. It will cost me some more to get it working but for what I paid it will still be a good deal.

or.. until motor and gear box is sorted out you could always do a 4 flash unit. not like it would be permanent and easily reversed back to stock when all parts are gathered. just saying

Correct Whelen motor and gear box is back in the 884D. Light is up and running perfectly.

The sad part is I have issues trying to post videos on this site. Atleast I did up till about 2 months ago when I tried it. I can easily post videos over on FB.

A link will do.

Looks brand new. Lenses are the hard part with these old lights.
