Nice job, Sascha. What are the two red single faced red lights that flank the 14 in the video?

Very nice restoration, but I have one question. This is a series A3 1Z model 14. Federal used the #Z suffix to denote special order items. To me, this model 14 looks like a standard series A3 circa 1977-78. Why did Federal bless this one with a Z suffix?

 

[JennyCop]

Love it in green! :thumbsup:

 

[Phillyrube]

Looks good, I NEED A CLEAR DOME!!!

Nice job, Sascha. What are the two red single faced red lights that flank the 14 in the video?

no lable on the lights. and i sell the lights some moth ago.


PAR 36 red light was build in. one steady and one flash ( like the lights in emergeny squad 10 )

yes the light looks like a normal model 14.


but i only have one model 14. so i can´t tell the differend to another lights.


maybe Eric knows why Federal used the Z on the TAG.
