Picked up another McDermott lightbar recently. Overall it is in poor condition but all the parts are there and the arms are not bent like they usually are. The Cans needs minor bodywork and the motor is completely shot. The inside of the lift mechanism is totally rotted and it does not go up or down. I Located a new motor and piston for it online. Overall it just needs to be disassembled ,painted ,new motor and then reassembled. The history is unknown for this bar but im guessing either PAPD, NYPD or TBTA20160529_170632_resized_2.jpg 20160529_170649_resized_2.jpg 20160529_172359_resized_2.jpg 20160529_172830_resized_2.jpg . Thanks for looking

I stripped the paint off the old motor and found a serial number engraved on it. I emailed Warner linear and they gave me a super ceding part number and I got lucky on eBay.
