A couple of whelen bars that are done or almost done. First is a hwk 3 which has been restored and is fully operational the next is a hwk 1 which should be done soon. Next to be done is my McDermott which I could use some help if possible

 

[ERIC6913]

nice, i like those!

Thanks all I am missing out of the family now is the hwk 5 variant that Suffolk county used. But I would love to find a streetheat or 4 pod McDermott to add to my collection.

what kind of help do you need with your mcdermott

what kind of help do you need with your mcdermott

McDermott 6 pod motor works but pods are loose and I have no idea on the wire work looks like a rat went to town

 

[CHIEFOPS]

MTA/TBTA or Nassau County version

 

[deelony]

Older mcdermotts had a problems with the pods coming loose. simply tighten the nut by popping the plastic cover off below the pod and tighten. As for wiring all the bulbs are grounded to the lightbar frame. any wires coming from the arms put positive to and ground the bar.

I live right in Atlantic beach if you need any assistance

I will take some on my phone of the whelen that is fixed but I do have them on the Facebook group that I made for these lights. Called the highway riser lightbar group.

 

[deelony]

that new highway bar in going to be the the vicinity of 5-6 grand i promise you

 

[CHIEFOPS]

More than 2 light modules per arm is overkill, all that's needed for an effective, coherent warning signal is 4 lights facing front and rear

 

[lb101]

I say 3 per arm which the low end has plus the built-in ta. The nice thing is they have side protection in both positions.

 

[deelony]

that whelen one is a blob on video. nothing is synced

The end lamps provide the perimeter warning when the arms are stowed

The new FDNY Silverado's have a newer version of the McDermott high riser. Looks pretty sweet!

Nice i really have to get some close photos. Why is fdny switching and I am wondering how much?

 

[JoeD]

Denver, CO PD uses a version of a riser bar. Used to be made by Super Vac but not able to find any info. In fairness, have not dug deep. I bought an old one at auction. It had an all light MX7000 and a Whelen TA mounted to it with the factory 6 inch oval TA built on the riser.
This pic is at Denver International Airport.

You still have a photo of that car?

Gentlemen, Visited the McDermott factory in Brooklyn recently. They have dozens of the old riser bars stacked up on shelves. When called for he restores them to original configuration and sells them for about $1800. He also makes the LED riser bars currently used by FDNY.
