DMP3H / DM3H - looking to see if anyone has a line on two of these for a homebrew project I'm working on. It's a side thing so not looking for LNIB versions worthy of a collector's price, just trying to get an idea of pricing for a purchase in a few weeks.

Thanks!

The full sized 8 head traffic advisors with the same housing are easier to find, you can cut them down and make a pair of three head units and one single head unit. You can't quite get a pair of 3's and a 2 head because you lose material cutting. I use a band saw but if you are careful a hacksaw works. The guts are easily pulled from a 2 head strobe model, then you add a halogen head in the center from the traffic advisor. You can keep the end caps from the 2 head version and from the traffic advisor. That's how I plan to get mine (I made a few previously).

I will build a second one when I build mine if you want (no projected project date like most of my ongoing builds).

Yep - kind of heading that way, but figured I'd ask.

Thanks!

When you get there, let me know so you don't make the mistakes I did on my first build (also I think I have all the parts). If you find more than one also let me know, I'd like one (I know not likely).

Saw your post on these and remembered I had three of the DMP3S - 2 strobe with center independent steady halogen. They were great lights in the day.

If there are any left I'd like one...
