beacon question

[dcb]

Many years ago, my father had a halogen beacon - I believe it was a Signal Stat model.


Unlike most of the beacons that I am familiar with, this beacon had a single automotive style bulb (like a turn signal bulb) but had 4 glass lenses that rotated around the single bulb.


Anyone familiar with this style beacon?

Could have been a Signal Stat 378

Similar but the model I remember had a larger base and wider dome. But I like the design!

Real cool lights, they used to be all over the Bell/Nynex, now Verizon trucks 10-15 years ago..

I have a Yankee 1161 that is similar to the ones Dan posted above. Try to get a picture if it will help.

The 2 lights on the left are the same light as the Yankee 1161. They are the North American BB-A Action Lite, and the Peterson 756.These 2 have 3 magnifying lenses.


The light on the right is a KD 886 which has 4 magnifying lenses.


These are all a little bit smaller than the Dietz, and Signal Stat pictured above.


Both the Deitz and Signal Stat have 4 lenses.
