    Help me ID the common name for this type of connector, please

    Can anyone ID the common name or trade name for this type of connector? This particular one is on an RF amplifier, but I have encountered similar (just with more terminals) on some lightbar quick-connects.

    SOS Lighting Devices? (*NOT* SoundOff Signal!)

    Thank you! What a huge help that is, I really appreciate it. For now I will focus on the two main caps (which are in parallel like you surmised). The spark gap is very cool (though I'm sure quite noisy with RF)! I'm intrigued and going to go read up on it.

    SOS Lighting Devices? (*NOT* SoundOff Signal!)

    It's definitely automotive, and it has 4 substantial bolts that go through the base for mounting. It's very likely this is from the '70s. I just wish there was some kind of info about the light or company out there. I've been scouring the web for replacement capacitors, and was only able to...

    SOS Lighting Devices? (*NOT* SoundOff Signal!)

    I didn't try applying power to it and I'm glad I didn't after getting it open. Because I'm so manly, I was able to snap 3 of the 4 screws securing the trim ring to the dome with my sheer, brutal strength, but the slot on the fourth was already stripped, so no screwdriver blade would stay in it...

    SOS Lighting Devices? (*NOT* SoundOff Signal!)

    EDIT: The label actually says "SOS Lightning Devices" (not "lighting") I just received an odd little strobe I bought on fleabay this week. Seller had zero info but said they couldn't get the dome off due to rusted screws. I haven't gone to work on opening it up yet, but I did notice a label...

    Pinnacle ETL 5000 lightbar

    You just need a breakout box and the corresponding plug-in harness for it. I did a quick ebay search but all I found were nForce breakout boxes, and I'm not sure if they will work with the older ETL5000s. I will look at the part numbers for the ones I have tomorrow and let you know what they are...

    New Contour 9100 mini.

    Don't hold the pattern select switch at all unless you're using the shortcuts. Just a very, very quick tap to move on to the next pattern. If you hold it too long (but not long enough to trigger a shortcut) you can actually move backwards in the pattern selection.

    Whelen power supply buzzing like angry bees

    I found a NOS replacement on fleabay for $30. Hopefully the capacitors are still "elastic"!

    Dunbar-Nunn Unitrol "L" Siren

    That's a terrible photo; do you have one of the entire faceplate? From what is visible, it looks an awful lot like a Touchmaster TM4... Maybe this was the precursor to, or just an earlier name for the TM4?

    Whelen power supply buzzing like angry bees

    Earlier this year I was able to get my hands on a mini Advantedge strobe bar. Aside from being dirty, the bar was in pretty good shape, but when I went to power it up, the power supply just buzzes. Seeing as it's almost 30 years old it doesn't surprise me, but I'd like to repair it or get it...

    A tale of two lightbars

    I won a local auction for a pair of Whelen Edge 9M minis last month. The photos from the auction didn't do them justice, as one of them is in nearly new condition. Impossible to tell it's almost 20 years old, right?!? Just kidding, that was the second bar. Here's the nice one: It's a...

    For Sale Whelen LFL Liberty lightbars

    I have two used Liberty lightbars for sale. These started life as ST8BBRR bars, but somewhere along the way they each had two Whelen Dominator flashers installed. After I obtained them, I took them apart, cleaned them up (including the lenses and dividers), and reconfigured them. One is now...

    For Sale Whelen Dash King strobe

    I had this particular light set aside for another member here who asked me to hold it for them, but then completely stopped responding to my messages well over a year ago, so it's back up for sale at the original price and hopefully someone else can enjoy and appreciate it. $45 shipped to the...

    End of the fiscal year means more lights!

    Well, yes. Every state and every agency is different, but one thing that is pretty much the same between all of them is the "use it or lose it" factor of the budget. This department's vehicles are on a time-in-service schedule, being replaced every so many years, with exceptions for vehicles...

    Whelen Edge 9000 Help/Look-up

    You're either missing a second power supply or it came with the wrong power supply installed. You likely need a Whelen "2x6" or "EB6" power supply that will run all six strobes in synch.
