I don't have any clear in my small collection, but seeing these I really like them. I like how you can see the inner workings. It allows you to appreciate the design and engineering of these lights. Like a cutaway view.

Hi guys,
this thread has been in the dark for a while, but here's a beacon we haven't seen much lately. It's a clear Dominion Auto flat top 357.

Where did you found this beauty?

 

[toon80]

The beacon was found in amber in a farm 2 years ago along with 3 other new in box amber flat tops.

The clear dome was found in Ontario last year, and I drove 16h straight to go get it. That's how scarce they are.

Thanks for the comment!

And a huge power sucking Mars Spectra bar.











[/QUOTE]

All oscillating lights in the Spectra bar? Looks like a mega Aurora to me.

...All oscillating lights in the Spectra bar? Looks like a mega Aurora to me.

I would say, all bulb-positions are fix. So it looks more like a large 360 worklight.

 

[empire5150]

Just got this NOS Grote with 2 clear 1 red 1 amber bulbs...

 

[lenny77]

What I wouldn't give for that fully loaded 90H. Hnnnnggggg.

 

[348]

Is that 80H with the clear bulbs stock? It looks like it has quite a few options under those domes. Just curious. Either way it's a good looking bar.

 

[dmathieu]

Actually that's a 90H with opotions. The dual sided rotators make it a 90H. 80H was the single faced rotator version.
The single beacon counterparts would be 33H-single faced, 77H-dual faced.

 

[kerry4951]

Just grabbed this one off Ebay after seller accepted my offer. Gonna need some work but I cant refuse these older Whelens. Still one of my favorites. And the "D" models are especially hard to find. This model of clear Whelen domes are extremely rare and hard to find.

 

[dmathieu]

Been watching that. Nice grab Kerry!

Thanks Dan. I made him a much lower offer and he took it after I explained what the light is going to need to get back in shape.

 

[Tristar]

How rare are Whelen Responders with clear domes (orignal single rotator, with the first version of the reflector)?

 

[dmathieu]

Not common. There is a nice NOS clear dome only on ebay. $50 I think.

[Tristar]

Thank you. I saw it, but it seems pricey to me. Maybe I'm wrong.

[dmathieu]

Not common, so not really pricey. I guess, like everything, it depends on how bad you want it, LOL.

 

[Tristar]

You are 100% correct!

I love the clear-dome beacons. We had a '61 Buick Flxette ambulance that came unlighted, and we put a pair of clear-domed older-style 17s on it. The left beacon had red and clear bulbs while the rt. had red/blue. To the inside of the beacons was an old Mars DL8 "figure-8" red light. Between it and the beacons were a pair of DoRay lollipops: one red, one blue; and we also had a pair of PAR46 red Unity lights on the bumper that alternated with the DoRay lights. Our Q sat behind the Mars light. Very impressive setup and we got a lot of comments. About this time in 1973 we got a call one evening from my friend, Phil Bickerstaff, who ran Gold Star Ambulance in Clovis, NM. He was in the process of shutting down his operation and was down to one unit to cover the city. They had an emergency transfer to Albuquerque and asked us to make the transfer. When I reached Clovis I called Phil by radio to let him know we were in town, and he asked me to call again when I turned down their street, as a couple of his guys wanted to see the Buick lit up; so I did. Was I shocked when I approached to see not only his guys but Clovis PD and NM State Police officers standing in the intersection watching our approach. I took that as a compliment! We later had another ambulance, a '65 Pontiac Consort that sported twin clear-domed 175 "hill lights" on the front corners, with a center-mounted Q and red DoRay lollipops between the Q and front beacons and a blue Dietz hill light behind the Q. Not only could you see us coming, but also where we'd been!

I would agree with that being a bit pricey, but that's the way they are nowadays. Before Joe Dorgan's business bit the dust recently, he was getting quite a bit for beacon domes, and wanted $75 for the small red lens for the tiny Federal VL siren I have. Had to pass on that.

Here is a clear Arrow 531.


And with his small sister 530.
