AeroDynic 25 CF Series A CrossFire

I had a request to get some pictures of the CrossFire to see if there was a complete one.
I had to dig around abit, got scared and thought this one might have been one of the "lost" ones from quite a few years back.

Bar reads 85, but the motor I remember getting a NOS one when I first rebuilt it, so its not original. Neither is the motor on the CrossFire.

Now that I found it, I am going to do some work to it, and since these pictures were probably lost many ELB upgrades ago...

Now the close ups of the CrossFire itself..
Good reference for anyone working on one.

But an SAE date is simply the year that the Society of Automotive Engineers put their stamp of approval on the design. A warning device could be introduced before and made long after the SAE approval is awarded. On an Aerodynic, the best place to find a build date is on the drive motor's label.

Unfortunately there were no motors on this bar when I acquired it. I ended up putting a NOS motor on it, since i had a box of them (wish I still did). Along with having to locate a replacement motor for the CrossFire.

Going by what I remember I believe Federal largely discontinued the CrossFire in the late 80's. Not that you couldn't still find them, but the Meteors replaced them around the same time. So maybe latest is very early 90's.

The 25CF Series B is literally the same bar, except it has Meteors instead of a CrossFire.

ooh video idea just struck.. maybe later.
