Haven't been on here in months! Haven't had the drive to do any more lightbar stuff since I don't have a place to put my pretty babies when they are done, but I found a Vision under some of my stuff (I knew it was there, but I always thought it was a vector and forgot about it!). Pulled it out...

All authentic CHP, deck lights out of an LTD/90-91 Crown Victoria, spotlights are original too. I tried to setup a wig wag with it but the headlights weren't wanting to work, and the flasher is not the same CHP used.

Light setup off of a 2003 CHP crown Victoria(excluding the spotlights). I need to get a negative switched flasher or something for the blues since the lights are negative switched. Cool thing is my dad and I have a slicktop 03 CHP vic that we can put the stuff into when it comes time to...

I have an original CHP PA500 that was left in a wrecked car my dad bought from the CHP about 10 years ago. Car was wrecked in 93. According to the schematics I have, to activate Tap II and Wail, they need 8volts. What do I have to do to be able to put 8v to them? Also when I have the power...

Thought I would post some pics of my CHP Vision clone build. Original 44" CHP frame and "tray", 12 way fuse block for power distribution, functions relayed, used Smart Vector boards so I wouldn't need a special controller, bought 4 "new" clear domes(found a 5th that my dad had), wet sanded and...

I have one question, on my standard Traffic Adviser for the Vision clone I'm building(ta off vector), I want only bulbs 1 and 8 to flash alternately for Mode 1. How can I achieve this? It looks like the lights are negative switched. If I can't do this and still retain the other TA functions...

The first one here is a standard modular bar. Probably the most basic of all my Jetsonics, it only has 4 rotators and two alleys. Siren speaker is an old Smith & Wesson I think, siren itself is a PA1000

I traded a pair of alley cutout Jetstream endcaps for these. One I haven't seen before and the small one I know is a JSS controller. The first has a model # of 5W7J-13D730-BA with a slide switch with 4 options, and a Ford emblem on the label too. I don't know how to wire each up, wondering...

Since I want to drive my CHP Crown Victoria when it is finished, I need to cover the lightbar. Had some ideas running through my head. This is a Vision/Vector bar so it's a little different to cover than an MX or Aero. 1. Take a bar to an upholstery shop that my dad uses for upholstery work...

Hooked up my TA box to my low amp power supply, it could only power 4 bulbs then looked like it went into a low power mode. How can I keep this without having my ps hooked to it? I like it more than the regular style, but CHP cars didn't have it:haha:

For my chp restoration. I plan on utilizing the shell of a CHP S810 radio control head(which originally controlled all the lighting). I have about 15 buttons that I want to use. I found these little push switches on eBay that are the perfect size( item 130880892246). Are there any problems I...

I have original wiring and relays/solenoids(pretty sure that's what the big ones are). Does anyone have diagrams for the large ones? What terminal post does what? They have a lead to the positive battery cable, do one of the smaller posts turn them on or something?(to have a master on/off...

So I am restoring a 97 CHP Crown Victoria. The S810 radio system is impossible to get (I only have a couple pieces of it), so I am going to hide a PA300 siren under the seat so I have a siren for parades and such. I am trying to keep the interior as CHP as possible, no equipment the car didn't...

Worked for a couple hours today going through this bar (fastest refurb ever for me!). It is an original Oregon State Police bar, have another too. Produced by the N. W. Law Enforcement Equipment company back in 3/7/74, it utilizes two Dietz 7-41 beacons and had a siren speaker in the center...

Friend and I got this puppy running again today(took us yesterday and today). Went through the fuel system, changed the oil, and put a new battery in. Fired up. It's an 84 Oregon State Police impala. We are going to have it all finished with lights and decals by Aug 1st. Even have...

I think my 86 OSP Caprice had this type of console, equipment rack, what ever it's called. I don't know where I cold find one or who made them? My dad took some pics of an unmarked 89 OSP Caprice similar to mine years ago, but most of the pics came out blurry Any help is appreciated

Not really sure what to do with this car. I've wanted to start doing some stuff with the cars my dad and I have. This is an "easy" fix up comparing it to my dads other pre-80's police cars. My dad has had it since the late 90's. This car was hard to find back then, and even harder now. I don't...

I've wanted a power supply so that I can stop using my dads battery jump box. Looking through a box with some radio stuff in it I found this older (looking) power supply. Had to re-attach the positive terminal, but other than that it seems fine. I tested it, worked fine with sirens, LED's...

I want you guys to choose!!! :D What ever is chosen will be worked on after my Las Vegas bar. Only have 5 days though!! 1999 Edge 9000 (picture doesn't show, but it does need some help) 90's Oregon State Police Code 3 LP6000 Or... 1970's Code 3 SD red/clear blue bulbs (I think the...

Here I am again with another refurb project! This one is a 1990's (came off 93-4 Las Vegas PD Crown Vic that went to a small department in my area, then my dad got the car and some lightbars, this one included) Las Vegas Code 3 Force 4 LP. It's in decent condition, domes aren't the best, they...

Found a few Motorola Spectra's in my dads stuff and plugged on in. It doesn't have a mic, and I removed the PHONE, CALL, and SEL buttons so that nothing transmits accidentally. It was working fine for the first 15-20 minutes, then a message appears for 1-2 seconds and returns to the channel...

After I don't know how many months, I finally put this pretty loaded MX7000 back together. I took it apart and did nothing more when I lost enthusiasm a while back. Just got to put my NYPD Aero back together and I won't have any open projects! The rotators on this are the quietest ones I've...

My 81 Reno PD Plymouth and 85 CHP Mustang are put to the side right now since I don't have the money yet for all the parts I need(can't work on the mustang anyway since there are other cars in the way), so I decided to take on a simpler project that my dad has. It's a 1997 California Highway...

What would be best to fix a torn button on a rubber/silicone type keypad? One of the GE Rangr S810 Keypads my dad and I got has a button that is almost torn off. These keypads are pretty hard to get, it'll just be used for show, no used, but I'd like to keep the button from further detaching. I...

I need to build a CHP-looking lightbar for the CHP car I'm restoring. I have searched this site and have found one thread that was kinda helpful with what did what. I'll be getting 4 vector bars from a friend within a couple weeks. I believe they are smart vectors, since pods 2 and 6 had the...

Found this along with a bunch of other goodies I'll post in another thread. Its a little growler siren. No markings on it or legible tags showing brand. I have a video of it, but it'll have to wait until I get on a computer. I've never seen one of these small ones before.

Thought I would show off our original CHP Whelen 500-series Mirror-Beams:D CHP started using the plastic housing in 2009. These came off a "2nd run" 2009. Cleaned them up, and they are now in a box waiting to go into long term storage:) We don't want to impersonate a newer CHP vehicle. We have...

As a 17 year old, I had yet to mess around with a siren. Decided to try today. Stuffed a cone with a rag and paper towels down the center, then put another towel around the cone inside the shroud to muffle things more. Wired everything up to work and had some fun. Was pretty cool hearing my...

Time again for a vintage lightbar restore! Got two Twinsonics to do, so I'll lump them into the same thread. First one is a standard Twinsonic. Second one is a 12F. Needs probably twice as much work than the first. Needs more too. See if I'll get it for christmas:D Excuse the unorganized...

I forgot to upload the pictures of it, but you can see it in the background. What is this for? It has two wires(looks like speaker wire) that were used for what ever was hooked to it. One wire goes to ground, the other splices into a solid white wire from the harness. I'm sure someone knows...
