A long, long story short, like so many, I wanted to be an officer when I was young. I remember my dad being pulled over with me in the back seat, in the 80's. I immediately climbed around to look at the shiny lights flashing and was like a moth glued to them. Ever since I have had this first...

Ok, looking for how to get the dome off this Star 9100 so I don't gouge or break it. They couldn't use simple screws like everyone else and make it easy. This is the 9100 that I got new old stock, cheap, but has only two selectable patterns when the manual says it has 20. I want to see inside...

Hey all. I found and purchased a Star Contour 9100 mini led bar with vacuum and magnet mount. Has a cig plug with power rocker and momentary switch for pattern select. This is new old stock I got for 100 bucks, good deal Manual says 20 patterns selectable, I can only see about 5 or 6 patterns...

*videos below* I found this StreetHawk today that the owner said was like new police light and siren. Excited that the siren was intact so I went ahead and got it. On first inspection the entire bar was no place like new at all. All the normal aged blemishes, rust on the bottom, hazed lenses...

Found a Dietz 7-40 beacon in Amber today local. It said make offer so I said 20 bucks and now it's mine. Just got to go get it, but it looks decent and old and worth 20 bucks I guess. Are these very collectable? Eiher way I guess a nice old light in good shape is worth saving, plus I like how...

I found a nice streethawk local for sale for 50 dollars. I always wanted a streethawk. The person has not gotten back to me about it, asking if I can have pics of the stickers as they do not show up in these pictures. I asked if this is a streethawk. I have a feeling this might be a Wolo...

Been a minute since I've posted here. I found an Edge9m today at a rummage sale for 25 dollars, full cord and it's very new condition and has a arrowstick built in. The man didn't know if it will work, so I took a chance. I hooked it up and got nothing from it at all. Has fat red and black...

I'm out and about, driving around some back roads, out of boredom and found this. I turned around to snap a few pictures, looks like a twinsonic with some old, fireball in front of it on an old firetruck. This is pretty cool, because the twinsonic is still on its original vehicle, just parked...

Found this near me... Edge 9000 with a low profile speaker, make offer. Strobes don't work, needs power supply, bit arrow on back does and all the TD/AL work. I REALLY don't want to get another bar, but this looks super cool and first edge with a speaker on top I have ever seen. Is this...

So the Jetsonic is my favorite light of all time, since childhood and this year I found two of them. One a individual motor version, but I got it anyways. Today I found a JetSonic with the chain drive and I am stoked. I literally took it off an old wrecker I saw in the area I am working right...

My apologies to mods, admin whoever you may be. I've been making a ton of threads the past two weeks. Feel free to delete any of my past threads. I e just had a lot of time off and keeping busy on my light bar hobby, lol. Today I found a cool, large beacon strobe I have no idea where to put...

I finally got pictures of the potential "diagnostix" edge 9000 I've been gandering on getting. Pictures show typical model tag, but I see there is no serial number or model number written on it. Lol. So what now? I have a separate thread on here about this bar. It has the control head with it...

I make way to many threads, so here's another I have a brand new ecco Blaze Halogen, belt drive mini bar. I got to use it today in a snow storm and it is nice and effective. I did notice the left rotator seemed a bit slower than the right rotator, is this normal for the pattern? It's brand new...

I found a locally selling edge 9000 with a control box, fully working and complete for 175.00 OBO. This is all blue, amber flashers and from zooming in on the pictures, just typical scratches and smudges, doesn't look crazed or terribly beat up. Bar looks straight. She says it works well...

I found a Jetsonic for sale locally for 200.00. it looks in decent shape, says it has the usual, allies, TDs, rer flashers 4 rotators. This one has the individual motorized rotators, not the chain or gear drive. Would this be like the latest version of a jetsonic? And would you pay 200? It's...

I make a lot of threads on here lately, but I keep running into deals that I cannot resist talking about. This is no exception. I don't know a lot about ecco, but I found this sweet, mini bar(Blaze 5135) on marketplace locally. It's 100% brand new right down to the foam packaging and wrapper...

I found this red StreetHawk for sale local and thinking of getting it. He just took it off his truck and it doesn't appear to be real bad shape from what the pictures show. All the streethawk stickers are intact on the body and it looks complete. When I zoom in the lenses have typical fade and...

I have a chance to get two, retired police Star Sabre, 48" bars that are clean. He wants 200 obo for BOTH. One has a short cord. They have traffic advisors all clear lenses. This bar collecting is a bit of a curse I tellya...but man it looks like a great deal and from YouTube they seem to be...

I got this nice Star Bar for my winter ranger rat project I'm doing. Originally I was going to convert an MX 7000 but it would of cost a lot to do so and I wanted to take my time and do a good job. I sat that was de for a full restoration later on. For now I like this Star Bar, simple, full size...

I'm finding it frustrating to find domes for my MX 7000 and Vista. Everyone on eBay sells them for ridiculous prices, try almost 700 for two pieces of small plastic. I've checked Galls, Zips.... Anyplace else online or in person to buy stuff for older bars? I need to make mine into amber so I...

I have a chance to buy a used Star Interceptor 8300 series 36 inch Amber/clear bar for 250.00. it's custom I think with two fast and two standard rotators, 6 flashers on back, 4 on front with take downs and allies. I was sent a video and it looks great. figured a 36" would be perfect on my...

Looking to buy or trade for a set of Amber outer upper lens domes for an MX7000. Will trade red lenses also that I have on it now. Red lenses are hazed, but not cracked, could be polished I don't know. Would like amber lenses of same condition or better. Thank you

Haven't been in here for a while, but to make a long story short, I got these three bars for free from a local Fire Department that were about to toss them in the junk. I got a MX7000, LP Force 4 6000 and a cool AreoDynic that I think was from the 80's. They all work. I want to install the...

I did the math(hopefully correct) and found that just one light(alley) drew 3.48 AMPS with my Multi Meter testing for current. I then added all the lights together at 3.48 amps x 15 lights total for about a 55 Amp draw if the bar was full on. This is a Vista with 5 rotators, takedowns, alley...

I found an all Amber Val u bar local for sale. It was originally two rotators, but he added two fast star rotators for total of 4 rotators. It has the black cover in the middle, not an all light version. Are these good lights? And worth the 175 asking price? I'm getting rid of my jet strobes and...

Hello, everyone, again. I finally got my JetStrobe installed on my truck and all wired in, with all the known functions and patterns working great. I love it a lot and it's my first REAL lightbar, plus my truck looks real sweet with it. I pretty much wired the harness to the battery via...

I got a cool Federal Vista this week for only 25 dollars in working condition and complete. It has some problems that are not a big deal and I'm going to fix it. Mainly someone rigged it up so just the rotators and front take downs work. It has 5 rotators, flashers front rear, take downs, alleys...

I have a multimeter. What is the best way to determine the amp draw/wattage of a light bar such as a Federal Vista? I'm guessing measuring the current as the light is on.

Need amber domes for this Vista, series-A. And full wiring cable.

I just got an old Vista rotator bar with some funky wiring issues. I need a wiring diagram and tried to find it on fedsig . This is an older Vista rotator bar. X132H225A series A 12 volt.
