Shoot me a PM, I might be able to assist you. I used to have their contact info, since we bought from them, but cant find it... Their website has also disappeared from the web.

The unit was badgeless when I received it. I just put one on there to compete the “look”.

Video.

Sorry for the late reply guys... But here it is. I had to piece it back together.

Using the innards of the Whelen Rota-beam R416

Video of the "retro-beam"

Dan, here’s more pics of my magnetic “retro-beam”. It only took a few years to complete...

Here’s a strobe version. Same principal as the rota-beam... Didn’t wanna run in the rain to get the actual one.

It’s actually mounted with bolts to the strap, as opposed to the quick disconnect nipple.

And another!

Here you go Dan... My latest one!

Honolulu PD uses "cheetah straps" or "rooftop bars" made by TRAD in Oregon that have Whelen Responder IIs attached. A three conductor flat cable fitted with a male Cinch connector is run into the doorjamb into the cab, where the female Cinch connector is located. They used to leak quite a bit...

Hey Dan, here's a repurposed HPD model 22 on an Honolulu Emergency Management subsidized Ford Explorer Interceptor.

This is a few years late Dan... But here you go!

Yeah, parents moved up 20 years ago.  So I try and make it up every winter (put up christmas lights, etc).  If youre an hour up north, i'd guess the Laguna area?

Can do when I get back from San Diego in Jan.

LOL, I wonder if there are any others floating about...  If I find another, it'll have your name one it sir!

Same type of light made famous in the original Hawaii Five-O!  Had to replace pilot light post and bulb.  But otherwise works well!

Just watched this a month ago... Season 5 Episode 4 (Pig in a Blanket)  Right after Danny and Chinook (sp) went bowling.

Yep!  I know he would!

Ah, well if I find any, I'll let you know

Unfortunately, no I don't. Got any leads on one?

It's in pretty decent shape. One of the reflectors has come loose, as it's missing two "lens keepers".

Another addition to the Honolulu Police Rota-beam collection - Model 55 - S/N: 55-1284. Taken into custody from former HPD Evidence Tech.

I can barely remember, but if I recall it was similar to the Whelen Alpha siren with two tones (Wail/Yelp).  Whelen has since created a siren box specifically for HPD with  its own part number.  Officers were provided both roof light and siren.  Wig-wags were allowed and so were grille lights...

Yep! HPD still has the subsidized program.  Once officers spend about 5 to 7 years in a white (patrol) car, they can get promoted to "Motorman" and given a monthly "Motor Check" to help pay for their own car.  HPD has a fleet of about 200 white cars. Back in the 70's you'd see these running...

Glad you like it.  More to come!

So here is my restoration project (still in process). A retired HPD 1973 Monte Carlo S... Redrilled holes and mounted Gam antenna and Rota-beam with quick disconnect. Next up is installing the Mocom 70.

New ford Police Interceptor Utility. Dept's picked up a few of um. White as well as black.
