Model 184 homebrew--can you figure it out?

I love innovation, especially when it comes to altering vintage lighting. This has to be one of the more unique ones of late--not sure what the parts are basterdized from, but it's interesting!

Once upon a time, that was a nice Federal 184 Power Light. Now, it's just a piece of junk. :duh: :bonk: :weird: :hopeless: :suicide: :sadcry:

Looks like someone stuffed the guts from two Peterson rotating beacons in there, everybody and their Uncle has one of those amber lights on their trucks around here. The four sealed beams that used to be in there would have worked a lot better!

Very weird. I will give the creator of it credit for originality and for making the most of the space he had. Maybe he had just the base and the dome with no internal parts to work from. It would be interesting to see it working.

That could be a possibility. Or the motor gave up the ghost and couldn't find a replacement and didn't know about ELB.


Could someone email the seller and ask him/her about it?
