Updated FOR SALE post! I've dropped prices and added a BUNCH of new collectible lights and sirens. I have videos for everything, which I will provide upon request, and are viewable on my YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/doranduh/videos). All prices are negotiable, no trades, and...

I'm looking for 2 Federal Signal "Directional" Strobe tubes with the bayonet-style base, part # Z8107A127B to be used with the J30 power supply in the secondary lights of Streethawk lightbars. Picture attached is from Pete L.

So one of my Force 4 Stingrays in my LP bar is malfunctioning, and I’m stumped. Of the three functions, the rotating function works fine, but the slow rear sweep and fast front sweep are all over the place. The weirdest part is that, if I tilt the bar forwards or backwards, the functions begin...

Hey all! I got this Mars 888 with the first edition bulb/reflector assembly, and it has a very strange tag. It's not stylized like the other Mars tags I've seen, and it's adhesive, not riveted. Was this ever an actual option, or was this tag made aftermarket as a replacement?

Here’s something really special, guys. This is a verified NYPD Federal Sign and Signal P-660, complete with no pulsator flap and dents from many nightstick beatings back in the 60’s and 70’s. Now, for those who aren’t in the know about this specific siren, it may appear that this is just an old...

I'm searching for a pair of functional oscillating intersection sweeps for the Streethawk lightbar.

This has been a long time coming, guys! This is my all red 6-foot-long Whelen AdvantEdge Firemaster lightbar! It features 7 regular speed rotators and V-mirrors. I got this bar years ago for a steal, missing some pretty crucial components (lenses, wiring, etc), but I've finally managed to gather...

Hey guys! I finally got this bar, and it’s special for a couple reasons. First and foremost, it belonged to our dear friend and fellow collector, Hoser, who had it in his collection up until his death a few years back. Also, I’ve always wanted a Twinsonic 12F in this exact setup, and here it is...

Hey everyone! I have a project I'm working on, and I need the following Streethawk parts to complete it: -8 lower lens, red -2 lower lens, amber -10 lower stationary light assemblies -4 red rotator filters -2 clear outer domes -1 TCL or DynaRay -2 intersection lights (for the corners, shorter...

So I've wanted a 25 since I knew what lightbars were, and here it is. I can't say I didn't spend an arm and a leg for it, but it showed up totally functional and just a bit dirty. I tore it down, cleaned it up, lubed the gears, gave the domes a bath, and put it back together. I managed to break...

Hey everyone, it's been a long while! I have been accumulating more new and interesting vintage and/or collectible pieces since I had to sell most of my collection 8 years ago. This is an incomplete view of my collection. Not pictured: •Whelen AdvantEdge 48" lightbar, •Whelen AdvantEdge 22"...

I managed to score this nearly NOS Code 3 Excalibur lightbar for $110 shipped. This appears to be the Code 3 equivalent of the OSP Strobe Vista, as it was taken off a police car in suburban Ohio. And, despite being shipped with zero packing and the mounting feet detached and put on TOP of the...

I jumped on this beacon on FB for a STEAL, and it did NOT disappoint. This is the "hill light" version of the regular Dietz 7-11 beacon, designated as model 7-116. The dome is in 8/10 condition, with only mild scuffs and some dust on the inside. The base is painted (you can see where some of the...

I'm looking for Whelen AdvantEdge lenses and spacers. I have a 72” long fire bar,and I’m looking for sections approximately 8 inches long, with regular (non-fluted) optics. I’m looking for the lenses to a full bar, NOT the style from the later flush mount lightbars. I’m also looking for two of...

I was out at the NYPD area of Floyd Bennett Field a few days ago and saw this bizarre anomaly. This light is on the green NYPD paddy wagon that the NYPD uses for historical and promotional purposes. I had always just thought of it as a Model 17 Beacon Ray, but this time I took a closer look. It...

Hey, all! I recently purchased a Whelen AdvantEdge Firemaster bar (refer to this link http://elightbars.org/forums/threads/the-monster-has-arrived.81147/). It's a 72-inch bar and I have no spacers or lenses for it. It also does not have a wiring harness. Each lens section is roughly 9 inches and...

UPDATE: So, after long last, this old girl is up and running! After I got it cleaned up cosmetically, I shipped the motor off to Skulldigger to see if he could fix it. He worked his magic and here we are! I had to take this sucker to work to get it powered because my power supply bit the dust...

::UPDATE:: The monster bar arrived today and I am not disappointed! Okay, I'm a little disappointed that the endcaps got destroyed in shipping (go figure, I'll get new ones, see the last picture), but everything else is just as it should be. The 72 inch bar has 7 rotators with V-mirrors and...

Today, I picked up a different bar with a good bit of history. As many of you may know, I work for a large ambulance company here in NYC. Another company that used to be in NYC was AMR, which is known nation wide. Years ago, AMR in NYC shut down and the company I work for bought a good number of...

So we just got like 8 of these at my company and I actually really really like them. Yeah the whole "they're super narrow and tall" is a little annoying but the rest of the truck is really solid. Everything from the super-sync'd lights to the layout and all the features of the truck are super...

An NYPD sergeant has been murdered by a convicted felon attempting to evade police. Full story: http://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/2016/11/4/sources--two-nypd-officers-struck-in-bronx-shooting.html

So out of all the bars I've owned in my life (which has been a bunch), I've somehow never owned a Whelen AdvantEdge, despite my best efforts. I've always loved their design and customizability. When I saw these on a FB page, I shot the seller a message for one at a reasonable price and he...

I got a cool, unique mini Turbobeam for a very reasonable price. Also it was shipped very fast. Thanks, Tony!

UPDATE 8/16/15: First EMS tour ever today. Check me out in my ugly (yet somehow likeable) new EMS uniform. It was great but I have a LOT to learn.  UPDATE 7/30/15: Today I received an email that contained a job offer from a reputable NYC Ambulance transport company. I interviewed+tested there...

NYPD Officer Moore was shot while sitting in his unmarked car on May 2nd. He has died two days later after being removed from life support. Officer Moore was 25 years old and had been employed by the New York City Police Department since 2010. His father and uncle are both retired police...

So I was in Brooklyn today going through some overpriced hipster junk shops. Right when I was losing all hope of finding anything worthwhile, I saw this little sucker on top of a stack of plates in a china cabinet. For $35, even I couldn't pass up that deal! (I *am* cheap, Tony!) Anyway, this...

So I was surfing around YouTube and I found this gem. It's a new CFD Ambulance and EVERY SINGLE WARNING LIGHT (excluding the grill and intersection lights) is the dreaded "x" pattern! I don't know who thought this was a good idea . . . thing doesn't even flash! It kinda shimmers and flickers. 

Hey all, I've been out of work for the past three months (despite my best efforts) and I'm about to run out of money. If I don't make rent this month, I'll become homeless. I hate asking for anything from anyone, but even a couple bucks will help me in some way, shape or...

Do any of my fellow NYC elightbar-ers have any advice as to where to start in order to get my EMT-B certification and hired in NYC? I'm clueless as of now, so I'd like to know what to do and what definitely not to do. Give me any pointers that you think will help me out, I'm trying to get my...

I'm a huge supporter of volunteers, and it's even that more important in a place as expensive as New York. Donate a few bucks, anything helps really. I know that this company does a lot of good in their community, including training hood kids into competent EMT's. They really need new equipment...
