SOLD Andy Griffith Mayberry Sheriff Car Beacon Mars RB

[John211]

This is the correct Mars RB 2 bulb beacon used on the show throughout its 8 year run. Sad that most Mayberry tribute cars have the wrong beacon. This beacon can be wired to illuminate 360 degrees or isolate the front or rear illumination of the bulbs. If you watch the show they frequenty spin the bulb carriage without illuminating the bulbs so as not to interfere with the camera (also why the hood of the car is dull). 12 volt. It works perfect and has a rechromed base and new gaskets. This is a extremely rare item...I will sell for $500 obo, or trade for a clean Twin Sonic. if you want the correct light, here it is.

I never knew that, about the various functions of the beacon. Can you elaborate when you say "isolate the front or rear illumination of the bulbs"?

Some MARS lights had split contact plates, so they could light front or rear only.
