Just took the gearbox apart on this bad boy for a customer and got her running again! The gear pressed onto the output shaft fell off and was laying loose in the little gear case. Runs like a greyhound and quiet like a church! He wants to upgrade to an LED beacon in green, any offers on this one? (magnetic mount and not perfect) PM me...

Interesting little light I picked up made by ANEX. This has a medical companies advertising written on the sides for Inhalers. This was a freebie given to UK Doctors at a medical equipment expo. Flashing and steady burn with a rear view mirror type mount. Very Dirty Harry style but with a boring reserved British quality to it :)  There can't be many of these around.

Fireball domes with no markings are usually early production Federal domes, probably pre-1970's era.

Here's a home-made green Dietz dome on a 211. I painted a clear dome that was melted on one side, which resulted in a crack all the way across the top. Basically trash, but one half of it still looks good. I used Duplicolor metalcast and applied the paint to the inside. image.jpg The top came out perfect, but I had to wet-sand the sides to remove the orange-peel, which lightened up the color a little more than I would have liked. Next time I will put on more coats of paint, knowing I will have to sand it down to get it smooth and perfectly transparent.

And Dietz never made domes in anything but clear, red, amber, and blue, so if you wanted split color or a non-stock color, that is exactly how they would have done it. Nice job!
