On the topic of Streethawks, how would you folks value a NIB all-light? There's one floating around near me.

I know the same sentiment was probably thrown around when the Aerodynic was introduced, but where do you folks predict will be the next major advancement in emergency lighting? Other than a few minor additions developed over time, there has not been any significant changes in the last 10-15...

Thanks all! Spec'ing between the Mini Century and the linear Responder - the Responder is about double the price. Are the corner modules the same in the Century as the linear units in the Responder?

Hey folks, Just inherited a fleet of maintenence trucks decked out with $30 Amazon specials - time for an upgrade. Since I'm really only involved in the collector community, what's the top-of-the-line in mini bar technology these days? I'm assuming LED brightness probably maxed out about 10...

Thanks to a member of this board, finally got a chain-driven JS1. Something super unique about this design that uniquely combines esthetics with functionality. Two hours of wet sanding really cleaned her up nicely.

Jdh was thorough, thoughtful, and extremely diligent in ensuring my buying experience was top notch from first contact through to receipt. Guaranteeing you'll have the same experience with him. Thanks for the 'Sonic!

Hey Derk, Greetings from Vancouver! Really cool idea - don't think I've ever seen a police museum have a designated lighting display. It the plan to power these? Next time I'm out that way I will have to stop in. Adam

Hey JDH, Do you have a photo(s)? I actually have a US address I can ship to. What is your price before shipping? Adam

Hi Folks, Looking for a Federal Signal Jetsonic lightbar. Any color combination except amber. Doesn't have to be mint, but also nothing that can't easily be cleaned up. Must ship to Canada. Appreciated. Adam

Awesome. Thanks guys! Not sure why I struggled with that one.

Been watching a lot of "To Serve and Protect" (Canadian version of COPS) lately and keep seeing this lightbar show up on the Edmonton PD cars. I cannot seem to identify it. Almost looks like a TurboBeam but it has the black gaskets between the lenses. Help?

Finally took the plunge and invested in my first "real" vintage beacon. Prior to this I've really only collected lightbars. Just a run-of-the-mill 17, but you've got to start somewhere I guess. Wet sanded the dome and tried polishing the base. Couple questions: - How do I know if I have an...

Thanks 894. Not necessarily needed, but if it's not too much effort it'd be interesting to see. Was hoping to see it in action. Just curiosity is all.

Anyone here have video/photos of the Federal H.I.D. Spectra System? It's the system with the fibre optic-like "pipe" setup with a single bulb powering multiple lightheads. Seems like it was interesting in theory but probably a poor performer in practical use. Can't seem to find much out there...

Thanks for the info. Listing has it at 350, didn't realize these were fetching lower prices.

All, Entertaining a Beacon Ray posted locally. Model 17 manufactured in '63 with glass red dome. Seller claims it oscillates, but was this an option on the 17? Not seeing it in the Beacon Ray guide here on eLightbars. Also, fair condition - where would you value this? Thanks

There just doesn't seem to be nearly as much traffic or activity on here as there was 15, 10, or even 5 years ago. Where has everyone gone? Is it a lack of interest or another platform?

Hello, Does anyone know if there is any affiliation between Star Warning Systems (SWS) of Ontario, Canada, and Star/SVP? They both seem to have offices in New York state.

Anyone know if Mars products were distributed up in Canada?

Unlisted, aren't you ex-Ontario or am I imagining things? I just moved out to the LML about 18 months ago.

Not downplaying your find, but what exactly is it about the AB that makes it the centerpiece of a collection? I love this light too, but is the demand artificially inflated or is there a quantified reasoning behind this piece?

Interesting light, but what is the practical purpose in the moving cover? Is this just a steady burn?

Thank you both for your responses. Firehawk is white base with TCLs. Interesting to hear how values have shifted, not because I am looking to purge anything, but rather because I am interested in expanding what I have. I have been with this site since the early 2000s, back when I was in...

Wow! It's been years since I have been on this website or even looked at my lightbars. Last week, during a trip back to my home city (on the other side of the country now), I went to check on my lightbars in storage. Really got me pumped up for the hobby again. I just feel so out of touch with...

Thanks to the answers regarding value. Wigwam, what's modified on it?

So, considering this is a model 176 - and based on the photos that Toon80 posted - the approximate value is...

Toon, yes that's the one. Hoser, that's not a 17? Shows how much I know about beacons...

On the topic of 'Hawks: What's the difference between a white-base Streethawk and a white-base Firehawk?

Tried searching for this, but can't seem to find reliable answer. Considering starting beacon collection, looking for value before buying. Federal Signal Beacon Ray: Model 17, Serial 2R...., clear glass dome, r/w bulbs, appears to be good condition. Thanks!

Sorry wrong thread...
