Beacon Ray Model 17 ??

[Hoser]

Picked up this Beacon Ray model 17 for a restore project. Came with 2 domes both red and blue, blue was on it. It has two holes (4 total) 45 degree's off from where the missing tag was, you can see there was something mounted to the light. Possibly a Cali Model?? Any Idea's?? Thanks

I think I saw this listed on ebay. Am I correct or mistaken?


Nice project. Good luck with it. Show pics of your progress.

I think your Cal model thought has credibility.


Nice grab!

Wasn't this one, it actually came from a fellow in PA. Another guy gave it to him. Just doing some research and hunting for parts for now.


Thanks for the info and comments all.

That looks to be a model 17 with the large dome, so 1968 or later production. The holes being 45* from where the badge was located would be the correct spot for a 17-C spotlight. Without the correct tag and spotlight, though, it is just another 17 in need of work.

That hole pattern doesn't look like any i have seen before though. Might be home brew.

Eric, got any pic's from yours?

Some of the California series lights such as the flush-mount Unity lights used a single bolt hole to mount the light. And it is the later Model 17 with the wider dome. Nice aquisition!


Dan: Did you see the thread on the new LED RotaBeam?

Well the search goes on for what was mounted on the light. Atleast there is a footprint left around the holes.

 

[dmathieu]

Maybe upper for the light, lower for the wire?

I have a 184 with 2 holes in the base and kind of thought that the Light was mounted on a Dump Truck that had a leveling kit for when the Bed is raised
