My Code 3 stuff (XL long, SD long, and 2 550 beacons all with PAR bulbs) didn't cost me a thing.

Does is count if someone gives you a bar and $20 dollars to take it off their hands?

My best deal was a NOS Aurora Borealis in-the-box for $75. Too bad it sat in an old damp firehouse basement for 30 years... The base gasket was rotten, the box fell apart and the chromed cast base had started to pit...:( Other than the factory, I was the first to light her up! The copper contact plates didn't even have any scratches on them from the brushes. I was a bit apprehensive about lighting it up but I had to see it run! A bit of a rare one, too, I believe. Never saw one with all red bulbs... They made red lenses for these, didn't they?View attachment 163165
I be never seen a colored dome for the Aurora Borealis just the bulbs were colored , if you ever get the urge to part with it please let me know

Perhaps my Vista I got for $25. There is 4 LED's in the bottom section. I know Vistas are typically cheap, but $25 is good for any bar! Thinking about getting another since they are now being sold for $20.

Any beacon or lightbar I got for free or little to nothing. Too many to count though :D!

Exactly. He said something about the 2100 had something wrong with the spacers (?) and he wasn't sure what was wrong with the Tomar.

I plan on testing them soon. The Tomar is all red I believe and the 2100 is red/blue.

The MX7000 is loaded but all blue so I can't use it. I may part it out or try to sell it. I know they are a dime a dozen anymore.
