Info on this?

[Dingo]

I’ve been looking at this on flea bay, does this look complete? Correct dome ect? I know it needs a flasher, anyone know what the correct one would be? Thanks

Looks like a mix of Tripp-Lite QuadraFalash QF-1 and possibly another brand guts. Not sure from pics. The guts are not Tripp-Lite, for sure. I believe the ring is Tripp.

Ok, thanks, I don’t want to pay a lot for a mixed match light ,he’s asking $180

 

[dmathieu]

In my opinion, not from what I can see in the pics.

Just some pics for reference of my QF-1. The internal configuration is different from the light in question. I don't believe it's worth the asking price.

You could always make the seller an offer for what you think it’s worth. They may not realize what they have isn’t original and therefore not worth what they are asking.

I think the lens and the bezel look like Sireno.

The latch on Tripp-Lite bezels have usually another shape that make it flex.

Sireno’s model of static flashing light, 88M, has a similar construction as Tripp-Lite so that one can be ruled out.

This light has very unusual lampholders that seems to have been made for a lamphead on a revolving light.

The unusual is that the lampholders are hold together by springs.

There are only a few manufacturers I know of that did that but not in this way.

@Dingo
I have now been able to identify the internals of this light.

It is Do-Ray but the lens and bezel are not.

The closest I can come to identify these is what I said before, Sireno.

Ok thanks , definitely not willing to spend that much money on this or any mixed match light, I can probably buy a new quadraflash for that amount of money

@Dingo
The Tripp-Lite/Tri-Lite QF1 is a very good light.

Why I wrote Tripp-Lite together with Tri-Lite is that it is the same company but due to a buyout from Trippe in 1987 they changed name to Tri-Lite but it is still Tripp-Lite moulded into the base.

I have been working on a NOS QF1 recently and have now installed two 550 flashers to the beacon to have the flash pattern Tripp-Lite suggested in the 60s, random flash from the two groups of sealed beams.

My light is amber at the moment but I intend to change to either red or blue when I have decided of what colour it look best in.
