Not really but as the rain fell and the mud got mixed, I was able to save these from the scrap heap...

A Chicagoland all-light XL with the infamous green filter and 2 stingers in the center section along with an old 4-beam 11" diameter Grote beacon. I would be excommunicated or possibly arrested if I actually revealed what I paid for these so let it remain a mystery!

Nice - was the swap meet in Illinois? I just moved from Illinois to Tennessee - slim pickins in this area. A lot of surplus auctions in this area restrict the resale of old lights to police. I like the stingers.

They are one in the same, correct and those are the only options remaining, at this time...

I guess I could have used one of my NOS 184 domes but this beacon isn't worth all that... and it would not be correct (not that this is either, but less of a travesty).

Unless you can find me a clear Grote 11" diameter dome for less than $30, I'm in!

You can barely find the 8" units anymore...

I was not sure about the NAS lens and I have not looked at my 400XD to check the markings.
The 184 lens will not have the right apperance, in my opinion, but the Stratolite 80 look very good on the Grote light.
