    Trail-Brite Chief

    The art on the box is identical to that on a "Yankee" I purchased in 1989.

    Unity 1976 USA Bicentennial domes, NOS

    I'll second that: I'd be interested if you make some to sell. Alternatively, how about posting a tutorial for how you made them--how to get the lines perfectly straight, where to get the right paint, tips to get the paint on evenly, etc. I see potential for lots of interesting "homebrew" light...

    Current Pillar Mounting vs. Older Mounting

    I did a "homebrew" modification to prevent scuffing. I wrapped the circumference of the spotlight with rubber. I used the rubber belt of a vacuum cleaner. It is like a giant black rubber band about 1/8th inch thick and they only cost a couple of bucks. I did have to replace them every few...

    Different AeroDynic?

    That looks like what I used all over in S. Korea.

    My Very First Light Appx. 53 Years Ago

    My first light, also at about age 10, was the yellow plastic helmet sold at Radio Shack with a revolving red light.  They were powered by 2 C-batteries and made a whirring noise.  The light was bright enough indoors, but hard to see in broad daylight when goofing around on my bike.  I got one on...

    Dietz 7-11 with new NA Signal 400 Domes

    It looks great. I just got two of their domes this week, a red and a blue to put on a pair of Dietz 2-11 beacons that I purchased with severely cracked red domes. They ran about $40 each, I think shipping was a little under $10. It is annoying that they don't tell you the shipping price on...

    PAR 36's

    I need to replace some PAR36 bulbs on a twin sonic and on a pair of dietz 2-11 beacons. Are there particular bulbs I need to find? I know original bulbs are 12 volt, 30 watt incandescents. Sometimes I see these bars with bulbs that have a smooth face, sometimes I see them with integral...

    2 Jetsonics I brought home...

    I'd appreciate help in how to power a jetsonic. I really need the "powering for dummies" version. I have a jetsonic that I just couldn't figure out--if I connected the large gauge black to ground and large gauge red to power nothing happened. Leaving the ground connected, I powered the...

    Screen shots from EMERGENCY!

    Not intending to hijack a good Emergency thread, but Fifi is the last flying B29. CAF has two B17s based in east Texas--when I lived in Galveston, Thunderbird was hangered at Scholes Field in Galveston, and Texas Raiders was hangered about twenty miles up the road toward Houston at Ellington...

    Screen shots from EMERGENCY!

    If you look very closely, I think that this ambulance is the only vehicle in the series with Mars beacons with spitfire domes. And one of my favorites, the Chevy chassis:

    Federal 184/284 domes

    If you could fuse red and clear domes in the horizontal plane, you may be able to create new "spitfire" domes! It would be a much harder job to get everything to fit and would require more cuts to be made, but nobody makes spits anymore.

    Vintage Whelen Lightbars Up For Auction Memphis TN 6-4-2011

    I'd still be interested. Surely one or two display bars could be cobbled together from that big of a pile of parts. The winner shouldn't need to sell very many of those even at an extremely low price to get his $400 back.

    Please add me to the list of somebody interested in a couple of those bars.

    Official "Sugarland Express" Movie thread

    Through the 70's and much of the 80's I remember only seeing DPS with visibars; red on the left, chrome CP speaker, blue on the right. A simple and elegant setup.

    Just scored 2 bars

    Thanks for the PMs. I now have a 35 amp Pyramid power supply, so I'm trying to get my collection into working order. My old 10A supply would only power my Visibar or dashlights. Fiddled with some stuff tonight and had problems. The "new" jetstream powers up, but is noisy. It has two...

    Just scored 2 bars

    For months I jealously looked at the thread about stuff on Craigslist wishing I lived near a city where emergency lights were advertised. On a lark, I searched again locally on Christmas and found somebody nearby getting rid of a jetstream and a streethawk. I didn't really want either of these...
