    Beacon Ray Challenge Coin

    Very impressive Dan. I found this company on Instagram and they produce some very interesting designs; not your run of the mill challenge coins!

    Dietz 211 with what seems like different internals

    Anything vintage these days for $40 is a STEAL!

    So how did you get started with equipment (warning, non-warning, collecting, etc)?

    Not sure why, but have had a weird attraction to emergency vehicle lighting since childhood (used to ride my Stingray (bike) in the 60's with a Rat Shack beacon between the handlebars!). Then into a VFD in college (late 70's), a candy store of cool lights and sirens. The collecting started in...

    Visibar build question

    Hello. I can't answer whether this was ever an option from Federal Signal (I suspect not), but I'm sure someone here will know. I created a "homebrew" bar using a North American Signal bar (similar to a Visibar) and mounted two pair of LL4's and a Dietz 7-11. Yes, the bases of the lollipops...

    Original or a Frankenstein?

    Is this legit or did it crossbreed with a Whelen at some time?!:oops: https://www.ebay.com/itm/176213425100?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=link&campid=&toolid=20001&mkevt=1

    Price for Federal Signal Teardrop Fireball FB1

    Not to be sarcastic, but how badly do you want it? That's your price.

    tsquale collection thread! Updated video page 4, post 152 - 11/09/2023

    Very nice Tony and interestingly, I happened to watch "No Country for Old Men" again on a return flight from Europe this week, and noticed the squad car Chief Bell (Tommy Lee Jones) was driving had the dual 184's and CP25 speaker (although no alley lights) that you have on the floor. I thought...

    Federal Signal Visibar

    Agree with both gentlemen above: if it's in superior condition (no rust, readable labels and end caps, undamaged/clean domes, functioning motor and bulbs, functioning speaker with no dents, mounting feet with all hardware and only the original holes in the Visibar), then $500 would be a very...

    Fantastic--how do I book a tour:)?

    Whelen American-LaFrance Lightbar - The BEAST!

    That's the "raddest" ceiling light I've ever seen! All I would need to appreciate it's full effect would be some "tasty waves and a cool buzz...o_O"

    Federal Q discovery

    I had a couple of Q2B's briefly from a collection purchase, but not being a siren collector, moved them on fairly quickly. However, I did power one up for grins and giggles, and when I came back the next day, it was still spooling down (never figured out how to activate the brake)!

    Classic Car show finds

    Cool beacon and excellent narration--I think you should start a monthly series highlighting a different light in each episode!:D

    Positive +++ purchase from gtpts27

    Great transaction with @gtpts27 for a Unity beacon and the packaging alone brought a tear to my eye! I thought my packing skills were second to none, but I have been bested! Excellent communication, very fair price and fast shipping--THANKS!

    Identify these can lights?

    Thanks Clarence. So maybe they were Sireno orginally?

    Identify these can lights?

    Rather unique can lights that I've never seen before. Don't see any manufacturer markings, but pretty sure they're not a home brew due to their finish, lens retaining rings/clamps and lenses. Figured someone in the braintrust can provide make, model and serial number! Thanks...

    Smith & Wesson Model 436H Beacon

    No insight but share stansdds' opinion: rare and in superb state. Always fun to find a needle in a haystack!

    Folks, I have 4 TS lenses for sale and open to partial trade for a good to excellent condition large magenta BR dome. I accept Paypal and Venmo. Would prefer to sell as a lot to minimize shipping hassle. Thanks! 1. This one is the worst with cracks running in the creases of the speaker...

    17-S ?

    I think it stands for "submersible" as it looks like it was installed on the outside of a cold war submarine--yikes! That's going to be one heck of a restoration (if it survives shipping!).

    Cool blue 17

    In @stansdds's response to your initial inquiry in April, the blue dome is more sought after than amber or red, so it raises the value slightly. Based on the pictures above and your statement that it's fully functional (i.e. motor and bulbs work, the dome is not cracked, chipped or crazed, and...
