How much is it worth?

[toon80]

I don't know much about dietz but I saw an old Dietz beacon for sale at a local electronic store. It's the large one with 4 beams inside. It's doubt it's NOS but looks close to it. How much is that thing worth in amber?

I'd say between $75 & 125.

In the late sixties and early seventies, the Dietz four beam beacons competed favorably with the Federal Model 184, and the domes were interchangeable.


As I recall, the Federal dome has a panned-ridge lip on top of the dome, whereas the Dietz dome rounded over just slightly. Others on the forum may have pictures.

I see what your saying. I have a model 184 powerlight and a big sireno beacon with a clear and blue dietz


dome that fit both of them perfectly, all 4-beam, 4-beam. :shock:
