To remove the dome, remove the three screws that are around side of the skirt. Lift the skirt upwards and the dome will be free. Be very careful, the gasket is probably stuck, and when you pull upwards you do not want that dome to fly up, fall and break.

The brass colored part does not move. I wonder if it is supposed to?

It is stationary.

The shaft has a taper where it sits in the bearing. I found a bearing the same size but not tapered and it fits to tight in the housing. I have to back the rear adjusting bearing out almost all the way for it to be loose enough to spin.

Looking for a front bearing for a Sireno motor. It is 1/2" dia and 7/32 tall. The ID fits a 3/16' shaft. What makes this one difficult to find is that it is a tapered inside bearing as you can see in the photographs. Anyone have a Sireno or similar parts motor? or know of a...

That makes this one November 12-18, 1990.

Seems like a reasonable possibility to me.

I did some research and put together brief history of Banger Punta, S&W and Stephenson, that will explain these lights and branding. I suspect that lights branded S&W, that we know of no other rebranding, was manufactured by Stephenson while others were rebranded. Banger Punta was created in...

@stansdds Who made the S&W L-11 Pancakes? The closest is the SVP, but the S&W is definitely nicer made lights.

Never heard of Stephenson until today. Just picked up this Stephenson L20 that has seen very little use. Tag is faded as most tags are, but the light is in nearly mint condition. Dome has some dust and what looks like possibly some paint overspray on the top, probably from sitting in someone's...

Does anyone know why some Junior Beacon Rays have different size spacers that align the Lens Holder to the bulb filament? Some have 1/2' spacers and some have 5/16" spacers. The shorter spacers cause the light so shine downward slightly if using the appropriate bulb. The dates are just to...

@tsquale Well here is a 1961 description that includes a Fyr-Fyter Penetrator Siren. Could be jobbers were rebranded and sold under different names or companies.

@tsquale Yep, was able to find this June 1958 ad which shows the controller better. Looks like a match to yours. This one says Electronic Engineering Enterprises of Scottsdale, Arizona.

The first siren may be the Penetrator that was advertised as the world's first transistor siren. It is not clear who the manufacturer is, but it was sold by George F. Cake Co., who sold equipment.

I just ordered two from Lightbulbs.com No.1019 bulbs

Just completed this display for my recently acquired Sireno No. 3. Replaced the front bearing and adjusted the rear one. Built a display stand for it and wired it to fit into my wall display. Nice piece of history. Video coming soon to my Youtube channel. Skulldigger.

I just picked this up at a really good deal. I like getting them like this and restoring them. The light works great, good motor, just some cosmetic issues. Nice clean glass dome. It is a 15A so it originally was a permanent mount. Someone must have added the magnetic plate later. The light...

Agree Dietz 7-40

That was it.

I just picked up this Federal Model 17D manufactured in November 1971. Itr was mounted on a 1972 Cadillac Miller-Meteor Ambulance/Hearse. It is in great shape. Mounted it on a leveling board since it has a cut base and placed it next to my 174 that came off of a Superior Coach and has the...

I am going to check with some engraving shops to see if they can duplicate it.

You are supposed to be encouraging. Lol I doubt there are many out there. I may just have to try and have some made myself. I need to find a good image of one to work with.

I have a Dietz 711 manufactured in 1979 and its missing the tag. I need a tag for it if anyone has one.

Never mind, I saw your post from May that you were still looking.

Does the little sticker on the bottom of a SVP 1166 have anything to do with a date?

Does any other dome that the LS-344 fit a KD 888? Anything interchangeable?

Recreated a badge for it. Not to shabby.

I picked it up today and it is certainly an interesting beacon. I was happy to see the dome is marked S&W, SAE-W3-78. The motor is dated June 2, 1980. I was thinking the bulb cage looks Signal Stat. the motor housing looks like most others, Deitz, Signal Stat as well as Yankee. Looking...

Picking this up tomorrow from a friend. It's a 4 bulb beacon. Other than the tag being faded it's in great shape. Any information on it is appreciated. It has a W3 of 1978. I have seen other S&W that looked like a Dietz 211, but this looks like a large 4 bulb Model 14.

You mean just a flat washer sized down to fit in the space?
