Jesse Volanti said:If you had the time or money I would put this collection in some glass cases and tag them year date & serial number of the manufacture. Just so dust and other people out there will see your collection. If you go with shelving than use heavy duty shelves that can handle the weight. there is nothing worse than having your collection fall. Where every you put your collection keep them safe.

Skip Goulet said:John: In the picture that shows all the RotaBeams,etc., on the floor, there's a big red single faced light. :yes:
JohnMarcson said:That's a whelen 994 on a pedestal tipped forward so you see only the top of the dome. Around 0:30 in the video you can see it better. It looks funny from the top down like that.
Skip Goulet said:John: In the picture that shows all the RotaBeams,etc., on the floor, there's a big red single faced light. What is it? I'm still looking for a Federal FS3 single faced light. Wouldn't mind one of the free-standing SolaRays if you ever part with one. There's a fellow not too far from you in Sandusky who sold his entire siren collection to a fire museum in MI a few months back. I think you must be trying to compete with Dan on the Whelen stuff! :yes:
I might have more ROTA-BEAMS, but he kills me on Whelen overall!!Skip Goulet said:John: In the picture that shows all the RotaBeams,etc., on the floor, there's a big red single faced light.

You do have some that I want.JohnMarcson said:Yeah, I got nothing on you for completeness or rota-beams... You should buy the rest of my rota-beams so I can stop looking like I am trying to keep up.
Very nice bars John, whats the lense configuration plan for the top one?JohnMarcson said:My Xmas present, cash.. which turned into two new to me OSC bars. I now have three bars total, two loaded and one basic (blue one). I need to finish getting the lenses together for the top one still.
JohnMarcson said:Here is the floor plan, the blueprint and a 360 panorama. The measurements are of usable space rounded down to the inch. I realize the measurements don't quite add up, that's because it's usable space. There are two doors and one full sized window, plus various panels and architectural elements.
Skip Goulet said:Once you get this all built, John, are you going to wire the place where the bars can be displayed working??
JohnMarcson said:Probably a few key ones or a few key spots will be prewired. The rest of the collection is too prone to being moved.
JohnMarcson said:Still moving and deciding what goes where in my light room. Here are some more advatedge pics to tide you all over.
Skip Goulet said:One of these days I'm just gonna have to make it back up to Ohio just to see all of this for real. Only been up your way once, and that was in 1999, and at night, except for a stop at CW Coach in Cincinnati.
JohnMarcson said:Too bad Superior CW is long gone. I worked in Lima and the area off and on a long while ago.
JohnMarcson said:So I have come to the realization that there are too many items for this room. I am selling off the traffic clearing, rotabeam portion and thinning the others. Watch for items appearing in the classifieds. If I ever promised you dibs on an item, PM me now.
