AeroDynic Model 24E Early Generation

So with Spring Melt wrapped, I figured I would inspect the booty.

Appears to be a very early generation Model 24E. Placement of the flasher is unique, the only other bar I have seen this with is the Baltimore Metro PD bar I got from way back.

Domes appear to be similar to ND spec as mentioned by other members. Its dirty, but very saveable.. so its on the project pile.
Motor reads 4/77, and the speaker while stating its a TS200 is obviously not, after removal its a standard TS24 (58w).

Speaking of speakers, if I plan on putting this back in, I will need the tray, or caddie that the speaker mounts to. The other one broke because the only thing holding it down was the plastic bell housing...

for the video folks..

I'm not convinced those plastic PAR-36 lamp holders are original, especially given the modifications to the wiring and the odd placement of the flasher. Without knowing the full history of this bar, it is possible that somewhere in its life the metal lamp holders were replaced.

possible about the Par holders.. there is no way to ever tell.




This bar has a TS24 speaker in it, I need the bracket that this mounts to. FB is pointing me to the rear mounting bolt version. I went digging through my bins and do not have this. Any ideas?

All I can tell you about the mounting bracket is that the Service Parts Index part number is 8470C121.

So revisiting this, I went through and took a look at some of my other "Early" AeroDynics. As a reference the bars I have, that have Metal Par holders are revisions B (could be a D) and C. This bar in particular is revision F, and I have numerous G and H revision bars that do not have the full speaker grille, and have plastic Pars.

Digging further.. In my old pictures I have several other F revision bars, and none of them have metal pars.

My last full Aero Rebuild was a 24EAH rev A1C and it had full metal pars.

Does anyone have any information as to what revision dropped the metal pars?
