I think i got the model numbers correct, Anyone have these lights that can post detailed pictures with and without the domes? These are the ones that are the same size of the model 11's and 14's with the exception they have 4 bulbs. Thanks in advance.

I am looking to pay very well for a 144 if any one has an extra.

The model 143, 144, and 044 all used the dome, base and retaining band from the model 14.


Model 044 was a fixed position, four lamp version with an alternating flasher to control the lamps.


The 143 (3 lamps) and 144 (4 lamps) were motorized, using the motor and drive mechanism of the 14, but the lamp carrier assembly was a modification of the 173 and 174/176 lamp carrier assembly.


The 044, 143, and 144 are rarely encountered, I don't think Fed Sig sold many of them.

Wow, I'm glad to see that light again! It started off with a blue dome, then amber, and now it's red.

I have an extra 143 in my personal collection which I no longer need. It has a clear dome, with red, white (clear), and blue lamps. It is in good shape; (8/10) and operates as it should but a bit slower than I prefer, averaging 50-55 FPM. The dome is new and the retention band is still bright. Anyone interested just drop an email to mevo119@aol.com and I'll get back to you. Thanks!
