    Smart Vector Manual

    Does anyone have or is it on ELB? Federal's manual section only have the strap mounting instructions. I'm trying to wire back up the Smart pod board. The bar I have has no wires or cable from the board except the ones to the smart pods and a ground wire.

    Federal Signal 184 Powerlight rehab

    Awhile ago I bought a used 184 Powerlight. It was in not great shape, but worked. I didn't fully restore it, just rehabed it. I found some newer used parts for the gearbox

    Spotlight handle screws

    Is there a reason why the police package handles have a torx screw to attach the handle to the post and non police package have hex bolts? The torx style strips out easier than the hex bolt when tightening.

    Smart Vector Project

    I've had this Smart Vector for a few years now. I tried selling it with no avail. So I decided to keep it and customize it. I've always noticed the mounting hole on the rotator but federal never offered a rotator filter (not to my knowledge) So I tried some of the filters I had around (C3...

    While I was out and about at a flea market near marine city, mi, I found a Unity RV-25 for $10 It's missing a bulb and lens retaining band (anyone got an extra one?) but it does work. It needs a cleaning and polish, but this should be a nice display.

    Edge Bar Question

    I was asked the other day about why is there "EDGE" modeled into the LFL/Liberty Lens sections if it's not called an edge bar. I didn't have an answer, so it's in the back of my mind still. Anyone have an answer regarding this? And was there an introduction flyer for the LFL Strobe bar?

    A great Flea market Find.

    I found this NOS Tripp Lite MV-2 Beacon today at a local flea market. It was an open box and marked as Red. But it's amber. $20 for this and works great. It only has an 1156 bulb in it. It also came with a folded ad.

    I've had this Crossbar for almost 8 years and originally had 2 model 14's on it. But then took those off and the bar sat in storage. So in the last few weeks I decided to put it together. I decided to use my two sentrys and visibeam II. Everything on this is Federal except the power...

    I finally started on the XL I have. It's was all red with a speaker section. I'm making it all clear with color bulbs (probably red/clear driver side and blue/clear pass side) But here's the strange part, on the driver side it has these brackets like if it was on an ambulance. (Unscrew...

    Lightbar mounting

    Recently we had a car in that had a strange way of mounting a liberty bar to a charger. I'm almost 100% sure these are CVPI straps. I wonder how this came to be?

    Par 46 Strobes for a Whelen 8000

    I've been searching on-line and only found Nova had them. I say "HAD" because after contacting them, they no longer make them and their website is out of date. Whelen and maybe Tomar had them, but no longer available. Are there Plastic Par 46 halogen lamps I can add hideaways to? I know...

    My First Tomar (aka the two ton wonder)

    I recently got this Tomar bar. Everything works except the rear center blue/amber halogen flashers (burnt out bulbs). Looks like one Rect 37 was replaced. And I need to clean the len's a bit more. I call it the two ton wonder because it's very heavy. heavier than a vector bar. There are...

    2013 Interceptor Utility

    I've noticed at work that some of them come with the USB and Ipod jack thing above the cig outlets and some don't. Does anyone know if the connectors are there minus the panel insert? My Utility didn't come with it and I want to add it.
