Hallo, fellow collectors. I received a very nice all-amber AeroDynic Mod. 25 today. It was on ebay and I got it for less than 160€ (~220$). The light is in very good condition. It is labeled by "taxameter centrale, netherlands/germany" and has four rotators. Something special in this lightbar is the fast motor. As you can see in the video, the rotators spin very fast. And rotate counter-clockwise. The reason for this is: The motor is mounted in the row of gears and rotators instead of behind them. It's located, where normally the center-gear is under the bulkhead.
The normal mounting-holes are still there and I want to convert this bar to BBBBCCRRRR in the front and RRRRAABBBB in the back. Work so far under the video.
I disassembled the lightbar and cleaned all parts. Inside it looked like new, very few work to do. I divided the lenses, which worked very well and mounted the motor on the back of the rotators. I also changed the position of the gears to make space for two additional rotators in the center.
I had a new blue lens still laying around on which I removed the 4 segment-wide stainless-strip on the top and changed it to a 5 segment-wide one and added one of the amber lens-parts, I took apart before.
At the moment there are some parts missing: 1x slower (normal speed as used in the US) motor-unit, 2x complete mirror/rotator-units, 1x bulkhead (which was broken on the screw-holes), 2 clear lens-segments (male and female). Red lenses might be available in a local lights-shop. So I try to find them there. If anyone can offer the other parts, let me know.
Here are pictures of the motor compared to a normal speed one from my 24MEAH. Slow left, fast right:
No difference visible, I would say. Must be the motor, which runs faster. Although it's labeled 8422B111-25, Type 1, 5-84
You can find videos of the motors compared on my server: Index of /tmp/aerodynic_motor
